Engineering leader with 18 years building and scaling systems. I've taken teams from chaos to shipping, whether that's modernizing decade-old monoliths at $50M companies or architecting greenfield platforms from scratch.
Recent wins: Cut reactive work by 80% in 6 months, reduced delivery time from 2 months to 2 weeks, and transformed backend teams into full-stack contributors. I love the messy intersection of legacy systems, growing teams, and business constraints.
What I'm good at: Making hard technical problems tractable, then executing on them. I thrive at diagnosing complex distributed systems issues and designing migration strategies that keep the business running smoothly. Equal parts hands-on engineer and team builder.
Looking for teams solving meaningful problems where both technical depth and business impact matter.
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: Ruby, Python, TypeScript/React/Node, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker
Resume/CV: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X0XVkOZXNoa0pwv5C8H5Mw7x...
