“Built end-to-end AI analytics experiences spanning React/TypeScript, serverless APIs, and Postgres, with a strong focus on streaming UX, observability, and reliability. Stands out for turning ambiguous AI product ideas into shippable MVPs, then abstracting repeated patterns into reusable orchestration and multi-tenant configuration systems that improved speed, consistency, and maintainability.”

Portland, OR24y exp

“Experienced software builder and former founder who ran his own startup for 15 years in the late 1990s, focused on bleeding-edge online ticketing technology. Brings a mix of hands-on software delivery, team building, and startup leadership, though he is currently seeking a well-backed opportunity with strong cash compensation rather than entrepreneurship at all costs.”

“Former CTO of EzCred, a fintech embedded finance/digital lending infrastructure startup that built an API-first underwriting and servicing platform using alternative data (e.g., GST and bank statements) to cut loan decisions from days to minutes. Helped raise $1M in seed funding, built the engineering org and compliance-ready cloud architecture, and ran partner pilots before the company shut down during COVID-driven lending market contraction.”

“Meta engineer who improved a critical revenue estimation dataset pipeline that was arriving ~6 days late—diagnosed via raw logs/lineage, redesigned legacy scans to only process the needed window, and shipped validation plus freshness/lag dashboards. Delivered ~50% latency reduction (to ~3 days) and regained adoption by running old/new pipelines in parallel with gated cutover and evidence-based customer communication. Applies incident-response rigor to real-time LLM/agentic workflow debugging and regularly runs developer demos/workshops.”

“Engineering leader who modernized and unified a fragmented product suite at Milestone via a multi-year cloud-native roadmap, delivering an MVP in three quarters and boosting team velocity by 40% through cross-functional squads. At Prometheum, led a trust-building hybrid architecture (AWS control plane + customer-hosted data plane) using Kubernetes to ensure sensitive enterprise data never left customer networks while remaining cloud-agnostic across providers.”
