I’ve spent over a decade building products that people genuinely use and rely on. I’m at my best when I can start from nothing, ship quickly, and work through the details with a team—whether it’s 15 people or 100+ engineers across multiple timezones.

At BENlabs, I built a client analytics platform from the ground up and got it into production with 1,200+ users in about 8 days. I replaced a legacy Salesforce workflow with a purpose-built inventory system that now handles 5,000 loan agreements and processes 100–200 new ones monthly, and I evaluated E2E frameworks (Cypress vs Playwright) to define the monorepo testing strategy—building Showcase with 80%+ coverage from day one.

When the only backend engineer on our team moved into management, I stepped in and picked up the API work, becoming co-owner of core API components that were central to what we shipped that year. I’ve also been part of the team behind TubeBuddy, a browser extension used by 10M+ YouTube creators, leading frontend delivery within my squad.

Earlier, I led mobile delivery for pharmacy clients at Coolsis after being tasked to build Android and iOS apps within one week, and I integrated shipping APIs so clients could print labels, track orders, and schedule pickups without leaving the site. At siosLIFE, I built the video calling feature that helped elderly residents see their families during lockdown, supporting a social impact organization that raised a €2.3M Series A.
