Three routes, one engineer
- GET /build
Backend-heavy products: services handling 10K–100K+ requests per second, real-time pipelines and LLM-powered tools.
- GET /stack
End-to-end delivery across backend (Python, FastAPI, Node.js), frontend (React, Next.js) and cloud (AWS).
- GET /care
Using AI to build software with real impact, and growing the teams that build it.
Eight years, one trace
Scroll to travel through my career. Each role is a span; overlapping roles run in parallel, and the current one is still in flight.
