Career
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.
Download PDFOpen to selective US-market Staff+ IC and engineering leadership roles: Staff or Principal Engineer, Founding Engineer, Head of Platform, Head of Engineering, or Director of Engineering. Remote preferred; relocation considered for exceptional opportunities.
