What I'm looking for

I want to build and ship AI-native products end-to-end—using agentic systems, modern React/TypeScript stacks, and safe CI/CD. I thrive in teams that value architecture, fast iteration, and strong engineering ownership with autonomy.

I’m a Principal Software Engineer focused on bringing AI/LLM and agentic engineering into real, end-to-end product experiences. I’ve advanced rapid software development and product creation using tools and practices across modern AI workflows, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Copilot.

In my recent work, I’ve conceptualized, architected, built, and launched unique product features with full mastery of the PLC process. I also developed multi-agent/sub-agent orchestration frameworks and applied a modern stack—React, TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js, serverless/edge functions, AWS, and event pipelines—to deliver scalable outcomes.

Earlier, I collaborated directly with a CTO to overhaul and modernize an entire technology organization, including planning and guiding a from-scratch event-driven architecture supporting $100M+ in commerce. I’ve led engineering execution through safe, high-frequency production deployments using feature flags, CI/CD automation, and mentoring across React + Node + TypeScript patterns, while maintaining strong vendor and stakeholder collaboration.
