Focused on startup CTO/founding roles and highly opinionated about using agentic coding to dramatically compress product development cycles and compete with larger incumbents.”

“Distributed-systems engineer applying robotics-style patterns to software: built "Vibecheck," a high-throughput real-time video + OS-telemetry fusion and analysis system (500+ MB/session) with strict latency constraints. Strong in containerization and CI/CD (Docker, GitHub Actions) and in designing fault-tolerant, event-driven architectures (Kafka/RabbitMQ), plus hands-on debugging of multi-agent coordination using blackboard + watchdog/circuit-breaker control patterns.”
