What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own platform architecture and technical strategy end-to-end—building reliable distributed systems, modernizing legacy infrastructure, and partnering with product to ship features while keeping cloud and engineering costs under control.

I lead platform, infrastructure, delivery, security, and platform operations as Co-Owner and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at GURU EXPERIENCE, LLC, where I rebuilt a multi-tenant service-based platform supporting ~15 to 20 institutional customers.

I reduced engineering expense by roughly 70 percent while running as the sole engineer after consolidation, and I brought defect turnaround from months to under one week by tightening server and web release cadence.

At LIVE CURRENT MEDIA INC., I drove post-acquisition engineering and data strategy—rebuilding deployment infrastructure, stabilizing core systems, and scaling engineering from one to four team members while supporting board-level discussions with the CEO.

Earlier at POWERSPIKE, INC., I co-founded and owned the technical foundation across live stream monitoring, marketplace operations, analytics, attribution, fraud detection, and campaign measurement—scaling infrastructure for 100,000+ streams and building end-to-end pipelines for insights and compliance.
