Helping Startups & Scale-Ups Build the Right Tech for Growth
I help startups and scale-ups build scalable systems, grow strong engineering teams, and launch innovative products.
With years of hands-on experience leading engineering teams, I focus on practical, high-impact solutions that move businesses forward. From architecting fast, reliable systems to thoughtfully integrating AI, I ensure technology enables growth—not becomes a bottleneck.
I'm currently focused on joining a team full-time, where I can lead engineering efforts, scale systems, and drive long-term product impact.
