6+ years software engineering experience; more recently in consulting, directly involved in 15+ ventures from idea to launch across medical, trading, and AI SaaS. I've lived with the outcomes of my technical decisions—iterating on production systems and refining approach based on what worked and what didn't. I focus on solution and system design and delivery across the stack: design, backend, infrastructure, and developer experience. Systematic design and delivery; modern tooling and AI-augmented workflows extend that. I use practices and tooling to improve quality, alignment, and delivery speed. I fix pain points when I have the autonomy to do so. I work well with founders, clients, and cross-functional teams and care about clear communication and alignment.
