I'm a Software Engineer and former founder with over 8 years of experience building reliable, high-scale web platforms and leading teams to deliver with clarity and speed. I believe great engineering is built on clear thinking, strong teamwork, and steady execution.
I've helped build and scale products across startups and fast-moving teams—designing systems that stay strong under load and easy for others to improve. My focus is full-stack development (JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, React, Python) and cloud architecture using AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Earlier in my career, I co-founded two startups in travel and fashion tech—one of which was successfully acquired. Those experiences taught me how to combine solid engineering with practical business sense, balance vision with execution, and stay calm in uncertain times.
I enjoy mentoring engineers, bringing teams together, and keeping the quality bar high without ego—so products get faster, simpler, and more reliable each week.
I'm passionate about building teams that move with confidence, supported by good design, clear ownership, and shared purpose.
If you're scaling a product and need a steady technical leader who bridges strategy and execution, let's connect.
