I'm a full-stack engineer with 10+ years building production systems at Amazon, Instructure, and various startups. I take on contract work where I can deliver results: architecting systems from scratch, optimizing infrastructure to cut costs 70-80%, building AI/ML applications with LLMs and embeddings, or improving performance by orders of magnitude. I've led technical development that's helped companies secure millions in funding and built systems serving thousands of users in production.
I work across the entire stack and can jump in at any stage of a project. Whether you need someone to architect scalable AWS infrastructure, build AI-powered features, integrate complex third-party systems, or optimize existing codebases, I focus on shipping solutions that work. Happy to discuss short-term or ongoing contract opportunities where technical experience and execution speed matter.

Experience: 6 years and counting
Backend developer who loves working with startups and small teams. Ideally looking for a Django shop but open to other offerings. I have experience with all kinds of stacks and am generally flexible picking up tools and languages as needed. Most recently I've been maintaining a legacy Django system while working with my team to build out the stack in typescript + express and react. I'm comfortable with both orms and regular SQL and have much experience with data wrangling and integrations
I'd be happiest working on a product that helps real people do real things
