Senior Full-Stack Engineer & Tech Lead
I design and ship high-velocity platforms: scalable backends, crisp UIs, and production-grade AI systems. 9+ years building things users touch — and teams trust.
I've led builds across fintech, SaaS, and AI — from federated GraphQL backends to multi-agent platforms and polished front-end systems. Most recently at Yum Brands and DigitalOcean, my focus was reliability, scale, and developer velocity.
Strengths: architecture, mentorship, and product taste. I like pragmatic patterns, clean contracts, and removing toil with automation.
Lately I've been exploring game development — applying systems thinking to interactive experiences.
