About

Professional problem identifier, solution specifier and outcome verifier. I built from scratch and launched 10+ products into production, with some achieving 7-figure annual profitability with lean, high-performing teams. I have worked across the whole software engineering vertical from embedded systems to cloud architectures, currently focusing on building secure, performant, and compliant systems in regulated industries. I have worked as an employee, a contractor, and a founder, as part of bootstrapped and VC-backed startups, agencies, corporations, and my own companies.
