What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic work environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to develop my technical skills.

I'm an enthusiastic problem solver who thrives on tackling hard, ambiguous challenges. Give me a blurry roadmap, and I’ll bring clarity through execution—figuring things out as I go. I’ve worked in fast-paced startup environments under tight deadlines, where adaptability, ownership, and speed were key. Over the years, I’ve worn multiple hats—engineering, team management. I’ve led small teams, collaborated across diverse functions, and know how to stitch together the moving parts into a coherent solution. I’m passionate about building real, impactful products and love being involved end-to-end—from brainstorming ideas and giving product feedback to writing code and gathering insights directly from users. For me, it’s not just about writing great code—it's about contributing to something meaningful and continuously pushing the product and team forward.
