What I'm looking for

I seek a technical leadership role where I can architect scalable systems, lead engineers, work across product and backend, and help a mission-driven company grow while mentoring teams and improving operational excellence.

I am a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer and technical leader with extensive experience building, operating, and scaling web services and products for startups and remote teams.

I co-founded an agritech startup, raised seed funding, secured cloud credits, and led product and engineering work across backend APIs, mobile clients, and dashboards.

At Evenito I led backend engineering, rebuilt core services (migrating stacks), created messaging microservices, improved security and auditing, and acted as interim CTO/tech lead.

I mentor developers, create technical content, and enjoy solving infrastructure, architecture, and product problems while fostering collaborative, inclusive teams.
