Sr. Technical Lead — last-mile delivery platform
Current 2026 — nowLeading a brand-new platform built from the ground up on Microsoft Azure — designing how the whole system fits together and taking it all the way to launch.
Open to interesting problems
I build the systems that keep software running.
I'm a software engineer with 11+ years building the behind-the-scenes machinery of web products — the part that has to stay fast and stay up when thousands of people use it at once. Lately I also build AI-powered products, including one of my own.

About
What I actually do
Every app you use has a visible half and an invisible one. I work on the invisible half — and I like the problems nobody else wants to open.
Most of my career has been spent on the backend: the servers, databases and pipelines that sit behind an app and do the real work. Making them fast, making them reliable, and making sure they don't fall over on the busiest day of the year.
I've built for industries where mistakes are expensive — banking and compliance systems, security platforms, logistics. That kind of work teaches you to plan for what happens when things break, not just for when they work.
What I enjoy most is ownership. Hand me a blank page and a vague problem, and I'll come back with something running in production. Right now that's a delivery platform built from scratch on Microsoft Azure — and, after hours, finding out where AI genuinely helps and where it's just a demo.

Speed
Making software respond instantly instead of "in a moment" is worth more than most new features.
-
🧩
Reliability
Designing for the day something fails — because eventually, something always does.

AI that's useful
Not demos. Real products with real users, real costs and real edge cases.

Shipping
Free tools published for other developers. If it isn't shipped, it isn't finished.

Experience
Eleven years, six teams
Logistics, legal services, banking, security, field operations and publishing — the industries change, the craft doesn't.
Full-stack engineer — legal services platform
2023 — 2026The only engineer on a platform law firms use to run cases, documents and payments. Rebuilt the engine underneath it so the app responded around 45% faster, and moved the slow jobs into the background so nothing kept people waiting.
Senior engineer — banking & trading platform
2021 — 2023Built the systems behind customer verification and compliance checks for a financial platform, and owned the pipelines that process trades end to end. Cut production incidents by more than 20%, reviewed code and mentored other engineers.
Lead engineer — enterprise security platform
2020 — 2021Led the engineering behind a product that spots security weaknesses in real time, managed a small team, and halved the time it took to get new releases out the door.
Backend engineer — field operations software
2020Handled data at scale: importing millions of records at a time and making the system's queries roughly twice as fast.
Senior developer & team lead — content platforms
2015 — 2020Built publishing and analytics tools, led a team of 10–12 engineers, and owned how the apps were put together from the interface down to the data.
Projects
Things I've built on my own time
One product with real customers, and free tools used by other developers.
AITranslate
● LiveTranslates documents and images while keeping the original design intact.
- Built and launched entirely on my own — with paying customers.
- Reads text out of scans and photos, then translates it.
- Puts the new text back in place so the page still looks like the original.

Open-source tools
npmFree building blocks other developers can drop into their own apps.
- A chart component for showing data in circular form.
- A calendar and scheduling component.
- Both designed to be simple to use and light to load.
