What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote software engineering role where I can work on challenging products, take ownership of meaningful projects, and collaborate with a strong engineering team. I value good engineering practices, technical growth, fair compensation, and the opportunity to contribute beyond just writing code.

I'm a Software Engineer with experience in technical leadership and building products from idea to production. I've worked on SaaS platforms, e-commerce systems, event-driven architectures, and developer tools, including founding DbStudio. My interests include Next.js, distributed systems, open-source development, and building ambitious products. I'm looking for remote engineering opportunities where I can take ownership, solve challenging problems, and grow with a strong team.
