In the spirit of love month let me start by saying I’m a creative software engineer and a hackathon heartthrob (Won Best Knowledge Bot - Google Cloud Vertex AI Agent Builder Hackathon). I enjoy long walks through AWS documentation, deep conversations about Redis cache strategies, and holding hands with Claude 3.5 Sonnet (it’s complicated—we built a drawing game that ranked #5 on Product Hunt).

Looking for: A fun, functional, and slightly unhinged company to build with.

P.S. My love language is emails titled “Congratulations, You’re Hired!”
