Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I help build and maintain scalable SaaS products with Ruby and Go. From feature planning to delivery using modern cloud-native tooling, such as Kubernetes and AWS. In my software engineering career, I excel in SaaS billing systems (Stripe, Recurly, Chargebee) and financial platforms, focusing on subscription models and recurring revenue. Equally, my engineering skills shine in leading large-scale infrastructure migrations, optimizing database performance, and implementing innovative analytics features. Balancing deep domain knowledge with technical expertise, I excel in both strategic development and hands-on execution, making significant contributions to the B2B SaaS space. My proficiency in complex system design, mentorship and effective execution in line with business objectives, underscores my value as a versatile and impactful engineering leader.
