Senior/Principal Software Engineer | Former Technical Co-Founder | 10+ Years Experience

High-agency engineer with a background in Physiology and Computer Science. I specialize in building high-integrity systems (Fintech, Health-tech) and scaling early-stage startups from 0→1.

Founder DNA: Built and exited a profitable EdTech SaaS (Futurist Academy) as the sole engineer. Comfortable owning the entire product lifecycle from Supabase schema design to Next.js/Svelte frontend polish.

Fintech & Rigor: Former Team Lead at U.S. Bank. Architected secure transaction layers and mission-critical ledgers where ACID compliance and idempotency were non-negotiable.

AI-Native: Currently leading a team at FairwAI building Agentic AI workflows and RAG pipelines. I leverage LLMs as a productivity multiplier to build robust, traceable systems.

High-Throughput Systems: Experience building real-time IoT telemetry pipelines (TSI) and longitudinal data reporting for millions of users (Infinite Campus).

I thrive in small, fast-moving teams that value craft, mechanical sympathy, and shipping fast without breaking things. Looking for Senior or Principal roles where I can have a direct impact on business velocity.
