Engineering Leader & Product Builder
Building products from 0→1 at lightning speed, then scaling teams to turn validation into commercial success
About Me
I'm a hands-on engineering leader with extensive experience across the full stack. My track record speaks to building products from scratch quickly—turning ideas into validated MVPs in weeks, not months.
Once a product finds its market fit, I excel at scaling engineering teams. I've grown teams from 2 to 15+ engineers, always maintaining high standards while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
Beyond coding and architecture, I'm passionate about mentoring and developing engineering talent. I believe in creating self-improving engineering cultures where every team member can grow and contribute to excellence.
