What I'm looking for
TLDR: Kick-ass problem solver that delivers results without bullshitting.
Long story:
Caffeine-addicted nerd with a constant need to work on difficult challenges.
I’ve worked with dozens of startups across 4 continents, while traveling to 56 countries along the way.
I've built solutions across a wide range of domains, including email marketing, e-commerce, healthcare, asset management, social media, enterprise automation softwares, etc.
What do I do? Whatever's needed.
I've worn many hats across both engineering and technical customer-facing roles. My experience spans frontend, backend, mobile development, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, LLM research, email deliverability research, and Technical Account Management, where I've partnered directly with enterprise customers to solve complex technical challenges.
