What I'm looking for

I seek engineering leadership roles building scalable SaaS and AI features, working cross-functionally at startup speed with ownership and product impact.

I am a full-stack builder with 5+ years shipping SaaS, marketplaces, custom CMS, mobile and web products at startup speed, owning architecture and taking products from idea to launch.

I have led small teams, served as Head of Engineering and Founding Engineer roles, delivered for Silicon Valley startups, government programs, and a European luxury brand, and reduced infrastructure costs while scaling products to handle millions of users.

My recent focus is practical AI engineering — OpenAI, embeddings, RAG, agents and evaluation pipelines — and I bring an owner mindset, clear communications with non-technical stakeholders, and a strong product delivery orientation.
