What I'm looking for

I’m looking for small stage startups who want to move fast and keep costs low, finding creative solutions to get to market fast

I am an engineering leader with extensive experience building full‑stack products and scaling engineering teams across startups and growth‑stage companies.

At Parse AI I lead architecture and vision, manage DevOps (GitLab, GCP, DigitalOcean, Neon, Docker), and implement full‑stack features using Node/Express, Postgres, and React while hiring and mentoring engineers and interns.

Previously I served as Lead Engineer at Splash and Vouch, Inc., where I led Android development, owned full‑stack feature development (React, PHP, Node, Golang), built backend APIs and real‑time infrastructure, and performed temporary DevOps sysadmin duties for deployments.

I began as an application developer building Android and web apps (PHP, JavaScript, MySQL) and contributing to embedded and Linux tooling; I prioritize pragmatic architecture, clear onboarding, and hands‑on technical leadership.
