Resume

Staff+ software engineer with 15+ years building product platforms, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and security products. I work where product ambiguity becomes architecture: defining the problem, shaping the technical strategy, building the core systems, and helping the team ship.

I have built across frontend, backend, infrastructure, data workflows, and security, including security products built from scratch at early-stage startups. Founding companies and operating as a fractional CTO/VPE and advisor sharpened the product judgment and end-to-end ownership I bring to a staff engineering role.
