What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a broader platform mandate where I can shape architecture and build the teams and systems to run it.

At Lawpilots, I lead a five-engineer product and platform team and spearheaded a move to trunk-based Continuous Delivery. I automated the release lifecycle and cut PR CI check times by 80% with moonrepo.

At ivy GmbH, I built the engineering organization from the ground up, growing it to nine engineers, and led teams delivering mobile apps, computer vision systems, and IoT devices. Earlier, I built disinformation analysis pipelines at Global Disinformation Index and customer-facing applications and data-processing systems at Terbium Labs.
