0-1 Engineer / Startup Platform Builder / Full Stack Developer

I partner with early-stage founders to architect and launch production-ready data platforms, backend services, and full-stack apps powered by big data pipelines.

If you're building a startup and need the first version shipped with real users in mind, I'm the engineer who makes it happen—with full-stack delivery and big data infrastructure baked in.
