About Me

Builder. Problem-solver. Explorer.

With over 20 years in software engineering—and the last decade spent working remotely from around the world—I bring both technical depth and startup agility. I’ve led teams, scaled systems from zero to millions of users, built AI-powered tools, and dove deep into Web3 protocols. I thrive in remote-first, product-driven environments where getting things done is more important than playing corporate politics.
 
I specialize in backend-heavy systems (Go, TypeScript, Node, microservices, Kafka, etc.), enjoy shipping fast, and care about writing clean, scalable code. Whether working on an AI chatbot, or architecting a crypto app store, I always aim to make tech that’s both elegant and impactful.
