What I'm looking for

I’m looking for engineering or technology leadership roles where I can shape product strategy, mentor teams, and build scalable cloud-native platforms that drive growth.

I am a pragmatic, empathetic software engineer and technology leader with deep experience in product development, data modeling, customer success, and system design. I have led high-pressure initiatives, architected scalable platforms, and driven cost-effective technology choices that enabled 48% ARR growth year-over-year.

As VP of Technology, I was the sole back end developer, DevOps Engineer, architect, and sysadmin. I drove the department vision through successful VC fundraising. I mentored and managed engineers, co-lead Agile processes, and delivered production systems written in Python, Go, Node, and React, deployed in GCP using Kubernetes.
