I'm a founder–engineer who's spent most of my career building at the very beginning. I've joined teams as the first engineer, helped ship V1s, grown teams, and seen multiple companies reach acquisition. Along the way I've worked across frontend, backend, infra, design partnerships, and GTM storytelling. I like building fast, staying close to users, and working with people who care about craft and outcomes.
On Day 0, I've been the person who connects the Wi‑Fi router and mops up the build pipeline. And on Day 700, I've been the person who says "we can simplify this system and still ship by Friday."
