What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can own product and technical strategy, build scalable ML‑enabled systems, lead engineering to market, and work in a fast‑moving, product‑centric team.

I am a full‑stack engineer and technical founder with deep experience building end‑to‑end systems across AI, civic‑tech, mobile apps, and large‑scale scraping platforms.

I have architected and shipped production SaaS platforms, high‑throughput scraping systems, and ML‑driven features that delivered tangible business outcomes, including enabling over $1M CAD revenue in year one and contributing to a multi‑million‑dollar valuation.

My technical leadership spans React, Node.js, TypeScript, Python, mobile (Swift, Objective‑C, React Native), cloud deployments, and DevOps practices; I prioritize scalable backend design, robust monitoring, and rapid iteration to reach market traction quickly.

I pair executional rigor with product strategy and user‑centered design, and I’ve led teams through acquisitions, enterprise customer wins, and successful pilot programs while volunteering technical expertise for community organizations.
