Self-taught full-stack engineer with 15 years of experience. I take features from architecture to production: UI, services, database, and the Docker/CI/cloud setup underneath.

Recent work:

Stood up an L2 chain on the ZKsync OS stack and took it to a live testnet. Got a sequencer fix merged upstream.

Worked on the multi-tenant platform behind an AI security product, including its integration surfaces.

Side projects:

NekoCAD (https://nekocad.com): parametric CAD for makers, built solo under my own LLC. Its own geometry kernel in Rust, compiled to WebAssembly and shared by an Electron app and the browser.

Ticketeer: a support SaaS I built and run solo, used by 4,200+ Discord communities.

Looking for:

Small teams and interesting problems. Give me a rough spec and I'll work out the details. AI space preferred, not required. Open to full-time or part-time.

Self-taught full-stack engineer, 15 years in. I build features from architecture through production, front end to services to backend/database to the Docker/CI/cloud that runs it. Recently: stood up an L2 chain on the ZKsync OS stack and ran it to live testnet, with a sequencer fix merged upstream, and worked on the multi-tenant platform behind an AI security product, including its integration surfaces. On my own time I am building sixi.sh, a social club for small local meetups, Laravel and an Expo app on Postgres and Cloudflare Workers. I also run Ticketeer, a support SaaS I built and operate solo for 4,200+ Discord communities.

Looking for startup work where I am close to the decisions. AI space preferred but not required. Open to full-time or part-time.
