I’ve spent the last few years building real products and the systems behind them: backend services, infrastructure, mobile apps, AI pipelines, automation tools, dashboards, and scrapers. Most recently, I’ve been building Culldron, a platform that turns firsthand reporting into contributor-owned claims, verifiable pieces of information that can be reused, rewarded, and built on over time. I like small teams, hard problems, and work where the product actually matters. If I’m not coding, I’m probably surfing.
Built the technical foundation for Culldron, a platform that turns firsthand reporting into contributor-owned claims, verifiable pieces of information that can be reused, rewarded, and built on over time. - Led development across the full product stack, spanning the React Native mobile app, Django backend, Supabase and Postgres data layer, AI processing pipeline, credibility scoring system, contributor rewards logic, wallet infrastructure, smart contract development, on-chain funded information bounties, and AWS production infrastructure. - Designed and implemented systems for claim extraction, related claim grouping, verification and refutation, credibility propagation, contributor reward attribution, background processing, scalable cloud infrastructure, and core bounty workflows. - Built product-critical Supabase and Postgres systems, including relational data models, row-level security, database functions, views, access control patterns, data integrity safeguards, and performance optimizations. - Designed, built, tested, and deployed smart contracts for on-chain post registration, reward issuance, and information bounties, along with backend systems for secure signing and authorization flows, wallet transaction flows, bounty escrow, and payouts. - Developed with scalability and reliability in mind, using asynchronous workflows, modular services, automated tests, and production-ready architecture to support growing content volume, user activity, blockchain operations, and AI processing workloads. - Owned architecture and execution across backend, mobile, AI systems, blockchain infrastructure, databases, security, cloud deployment, app releases, and product strategy.
• Led the development and expansion of a $100/month SaaS product for ticket brokers, delivering real-time ticketing intelligence. • Inherited and maintained a large codebase, learning architecture and systems on-the-fly after taking over from a previous CTO. • Built custom scraping and automation tools for ticket marketplaces, often reverse engineering undocumented APIs and WebSockets to monitor seat availability and price changes. • Developed a CAPTCHA-solving Discord DM automation system that successfully brought in 15+ new paying clients ($1,500 MRR). • Built systems to consolidate data for 2,000+ presales per day, helping users capitalize on opportunities. • Automated social media trend tracking across 300,000+ artists (X, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify). • Delegated development tasks to and oversaw the work of another software engineer. • Implemented PayPal billing for subscriptions and Supabase RLS policies for secure access control.
• Implemented key product features that significantly improved functionality and user experience of the financial planning and tracking platform. • Identified and resolved major software bugs through comprehensive testing and led weekly bug bash meetings to catch critical issues before release. • Effectively communicated technical concepts and project updates to non-technical stakeholders, facilitating cross-departmental communication and transparency.
• Developed a secure and HIPAA-compliant web application using Flask and Vue.js to automate and streamline data extraction and organization across multiple Hospice facilities for Dr. Steven Kaye, a Hospice consultant with patients across multiple facilities. • Collaborated closely with Dr. Kaye to understand specific needs and workflows, tailoring the application to optimize time management, resulting in significant time savings for daily tasks.
