About me
Full-stack engineer + founder with 5+ years of hands-on development and venture-building experience. I lead frontend architecture, build real-time APIs, and ship features fast — but I also think about product strategy, team culture, and business outcomes. I've mentored engineers, designed CI pipelines, and integrated Stripe + Slack end-to-end. Recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30 and MIT TR 35, I bring both execution and vision. You get a senior engineer who codes at $250/hr — and a strategic partner who thinks like a CEO. No ego, no drama, just shipped product.
