What I'm looking for

I enjoy joining ambitious teams early, taking ownership of difficult problems, and turning ideas into products customers actually use. I'm at my best where speed, autonomy, and impact matter more than hierarchy.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building scalable products, APIs, and distributed systems. I work across TypeScript, Java, Python, Node.js, React, cloud platforms, databases, and Kubernetes.

I enjoy solving complex technical problems, owning work end to end, and contributing across both product and engineering. I’m especially interested in scalable systems, cloud-native development, AI-powered products, and fast-moving teams where engineers can have a meaningful impact.
