20+ years shipping production SaaS. Currently CTO of Allset (AI-native ops for construction trades) — multi-tenant, Stripe Connect, mobile + web; just shipped to AWS this week. Before Allset: 10 years at a private SaaS where I cut $1M+ from the AWS bill, ending as Principal Engineer. Ex-Microsoft.
I ship full features end-to-end using on a real production codebase, not a prototype.
Looking for a 12-24 month senior IC seat at a YC or AI-native startup:
• Founding Engineer / early eng at a recently-funded YC company
• Forward-Deployed Engineer at a funded AI startup
• Senior staff IC where speed + ownership matter
