What I'm looking for

I'm available immediately for remote work and open to European relocation from August 2026. I'm looking to combine hands-on engineering, architecture collaboration, distributed-team leadership, and reliable production delivery.

I'm building local-first AI-agent automation and private-LLM systems at Kirintor AI, including Lead Radar for buyer-intent discovery, qualification, CRM activity, deduplication, and operational telemetry.

At ChronoTrack and Athlinks within the Life Time group, I developed and maintained production TypeScript and legacy PHP software, responded to incidents across time zones, and built a Splink-based probabilistic record-linkage MVP that was selected for full product development. I also tracked delivery, reviewed code, and helped coordinate onboarding for the external engineering team implementing the product.

Through True Progress, I balance hands-on implementation with delivery coordination for international software clients. Earlier, I built, deployed, and hosted client websites, web applications, and Python automation tools through Erebus Studio.
