I’m a former Staff Full-Stack Engineer at Betterment, where I led architecture and delivery for high-impact, company-wide initiatives including new product lines, acquisitions, and core investment systems. Today, I work with startups and growing teams to design and build reliable, scalable software. I am especially motivated by problems that are complex, ambiguous, or high-stakes. **What I can help you with:** - Designing and shipping full-stack web applications (React, backend systems in Ruby or Python, Postgres databases, infrastructure) - Leading technical architecture for new products or major features - Turning rough ideas into well-structured, maintainable systems - Stabilizing or scaling existing codebases At Betterment, I: - Led architecture for multiple strategic initiatives, including product launches and acquisitions - Built some of the company’s first React applications - Designed and implemented a Julia-based microservice for algorithmic investment advice - Designed the Postgres-based portfolio framework underpinning Betterment’s core business Since 2024, I’ve been running an independent development and consulting practice, working with clients while also building my own products (including a home management platform and a travel app). I’m comfortable owning the full lifecycle, from planning and system design to deployment and monitoring, but I also integrate seamlessly into existing teams. My approach is simple: write code that other engineers can understand and build on. Maintainability and clarity come first. I also use AI as a supporting tool, not a shortcut. It helps me move faster while maintaining high standards for code quality, system design, and long-term maintainability. If you’re looking for a senior engineer who can take ownership of complex problems and deliver clean, thoughtful solutions, I’d be glad to connect. Please note that I am a US citizen currently based in Singapore.…I’m a former Staff Full-Stack Engineer at Betterment, where I led architecture and delivery for high-impact, company-wide initiatives including new product lines, acquisitions, and core investment systems.
