What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and lead scalable backend products, contribute to architecture and technical delivery, and work closely with product, engineering, and cross-functional teams.

I'm building and maintaining core features for FinLink's construction-financing CRM, which supports more than 1,200 intermediaries and processes over 50,000 applications each month. I work across Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Sidekiq, Kafka, RSpec, and Azure infrastructure.

Previously, I developed Rails products at PAIR Finance and served as VP of Engineering at Lorryz, where I built a technical team and delivered on-demand freight-service features against the product roadmap. At KeepTruckin, I led backend work on message pipelines and APIs, including testing, technical design documentation, and support for junior engineers.

I've also led mortgage, care-coordination, investment-management, invoicing, inventory, and SEC-filing products at Creative Chaos, CareAxiom, ProtonLabs, Confiz Solutions, and Cambridge Docs. My work spans architecture, database design, automated testing, deployments, release management, client communication, and technical leadership.
