Product-focused full-stack engineer with 9 years of experience, looking for a full-time role. I've worked at enterprise companies, startups, and nonprofits, and have led teams in several of them.

I take products from vague requirements to production: architecture, APIs, third-party integrations, and the frontend that ties it together. I'm comfortable owning features end to end and working directly with non-technical stakeholders.

I'm a full-stack software engineer with 6 years professional experience. I've worked in enterprise companies and startups, with teams of varying sizes, being team lead in some of my teams. I'm very strong in adopting and picking up new technologies and would fit in just as well in a generalist position.

Please reach out if you'd like to chat. I'd be happy to answer any questions.
