What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead hands-on engineering for product teams building reliable SaaS platforms, AI-enabled delivery systems, and scalable cloud infrastructure.

At ContractsConnected, I lead engineering for a construction SaaS platform, building AI-driven code review, production-fix, ticket-to-PR, and automated QA systems handling around 100 pull requests daily. I designed its multi-service Laravel, Python, Node.js, and Vue architecture and migrated the platform from a single server to Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure.

Across fintech, healthcare, real estate, and construction, I've built platforms from the first line of code, including payment failover services and currency exchange marketplaces. I lead teams hands-on through hiring, technical standards, roadmap decisions, SOC 2 Type II work, and daily product delivery.
