What I'm looking for

I'm looking to join early-stage or growing product teams where I can shape system architecture, deliver scalable full-stack features, and contribute technical and business insight throughout development.

I've built an entire social network as a single developer, including its architecture, a score-based Elasticsearch newsfeed delivering hundreds of ranked posts in milliseconds, social features, and a Mapbox-powered map designed for potentially millions of data points.

At HalfSerious, I maintained and modernized a complex custom PHP platform used by leading universities and hundreds of thousands of users. I optimized legacy performance, improved big-data search with Apache Solr, built REST APIs and Vue.js applications, and designed eCommerce architecture supporting hundreds of thousands of products.
