About

I specialize in high-impact software products and decentralized ecosystems. I work full-stack, but I'm most drawn to data, AI/ML and the infrastructure that runs underneath.

I like owning problems end to end: making the architecture call, shipping the features, watching the metrics, and mentoring and guiding the engineers.
