Why Work With Me
I've Walked the Walk
Built products from scratch, scaled infrastructure, debugged the hard stuff, and turned ideas into outcomes. This gives you instant credibility and empathy with engineers.
Developer Experience Is in My DNA
Fundamentally care about improving how engineers work — from DevEx and CI/CD to onboarding and API design. Built tools that make engineers faster and happier.
I Bridge the Gap
Speak both code and customer. Whether it's aligning with execs on KPIs or coaching engineers on product impact, you know how to translate strategy into action.
Builder of Teams
Understand the importance of culture, trust, and clarity. Mentor, lead by example, and design systems where people do their best work.
Relentlessly Pragmatic
Not in love with process for its own sake. Look for what actually helps: reducing friction, simplifying paths, and unblocking teams.
Long-Term Thinker
Care about API consistency, onboarding time, developer happiness, and system resiliency — not just shipping the next sprint.
Let's Work Together
