I've spent 15+ years building products and infrastructure for US startups, including as a founding engineer, CTO and VP of Engineering. Some of my work: Edge Delta: Built Go backend services and led the platform-wide Angular-to-React migration. Braid Health: Led engineering in a 3–4 person team building healthcare software for customers including Walmart Health. Worked across the product, EHR integrations and CouchDB/Kubernetes infrastructure. SellerCrowd: CTO and lead developer of a Django/React platform serving more than 20,000 members. Most recently, I built an internal AI knowledge assistant with custom tools connecting GitHub, Linear and company resources. The same engagement included AWS/Terraform infrastructure and security controls supporting SOC 2 Type II audit readiness. I'm particularly interested in developer tools, enterprise integrations, and the backend/platform work behind AI products. I'm also open to broader backend and product engineering roles where I can own substantial parts of the system. Open to full-time or long-term contract work.
