What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable serverless and AI platforms where I can lead engineering, design APIs/SDKs, and deliver high-impact MVPs in fast-paced teams.

I am a founding engineer with 7+ years building serverless computing platforms, AI-powered applications, and scalable web infrastructure. I lead full-stack development using Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP), delivering production-grade solutions, developer-facing SDKs, and authentication systems.

I have founded and led teams, launched B2B SaaS products, and built AI platforms processing 1000+ daily generations with sub-second responses. I focus on database optimization, auto-scaling architectures, rapid MVP delivery, and creating robust APIs and integrations that enable third-party developers and enterprise customers.
