What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can own architecture and delivery end-to-end, improve performance and reliability, and align cross-functional teams with scalable engineering workflows. Mentor engineers, ship measurable product impact.

Engineering Lead and full-stack engineer with 7 years architecting and scaling production systems across FinTech, RegTech, EdTech, and MediaTech. I drive end-to-end product ownership from system design through production, so teams ship faster without sacrificing reliability.

Most recently I owned the complete monetization stack at TechPassport from scratch: Stripe payments, subscriptions, billing schema. Cut API response times by 75 to 80% through caching, query optimization, and async refactoring. Before that, led a 5-engineer squad at Vested Finance across 15+ person cross-functional teams, authored system design docs, and shipped major features on a high-traffic FinTech platform.

Stack: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node, Postgres, AWS. Comfortable owning architecture decisions, mentoring engineers, and shipping features end-to-end from Figma to production.
