I help businesses build scalable, secure software — faster than they thought possible.

About

I'm a Staff Software Engineer at Acquired, working primarily on our card processing platform. I've spent my career at the intersection of engineering leadership and hands-on product development — from founding a server hosting company to leading engineering teams at growth-stage startups.

I've worked across many languages — C#, TypeScript, PHP, Java, Swift, and Go — and spent many years building with .NET, React, and Laravel. I'm a certified AWS Solutions Architect and have a strong foundation in Linux server administration and cloud infrastructure.

I'm fully bought into agentic software engineering — using AI agents as first-class members of the engineering workflow to ship more, faster, without compromising quality.

What I can help you with
Scaling engineering teams & technical leadership
I've led teams from early-stage to growth, hiring, mentoring, and building the processes that let engineers ship with confidence.
Building cloud-native payment & fintech systems
Currently building card processing infrastructure at Acquired. I know what it takes to make payment systems secure, reliable, and auditable at scale.
Agentic software engineering & AI-accelerated delivery
Fully committed to using AI agents as first-class members of the engineering workflow — producing more, faster, without sacrificing quality.
AWS architecture & infrastructure-as-code
Certified AWS Solutions Architect. I design, build, and automate cloud infrastructure with Terraform — repeatable, version-controlled, no snowflakes.
