About

I’m a startup-focused tech lead and founding-stage engineer who turns chaotic early products into scalable, well-structured systems. I work end-to-end across Node.js/TypeScript backends and modern TypeScript frontends, with a strong bias toward pragmatic architecture and end-to-end type safety.

I enjoy owning technical direction across the full stack—backend, frontend, and infrastructure—and setting up engineering processes that help teams move faster without creating fragility. From migrations and performance-critical database work to leading teams through growth, I focus on bridging business goals with sound technical decisions.
