About me.

Engineering leader who bridges product and code. I understand the full stack — from database schemas to customer journeys — and use that context to ship faster and make smarter decisions. Most recently Team Lead at Fluid, building tools at the intersection of AI, integrations, and developer experience. Now seeking my next challenge. 6+ years at product-driven startups. I've worn the hats: senior engineer, tech lead, and product owner.
