I'm a first/founding engineer by background, and lately I've been taking on contract work that draws on that same skill set: helping teams figure out what to build and how, before committing engineering time to it. I'm comfortable owning a problem end-to-end, from initial scoping through architecture and into a working v1, and I communicate clearly about scope, risk, and tradeoffs along the way.

Good fits for contract work:

- Technical scoping and planning for a new product or platform before a team commits resources to it

- Architecture review and systems modeling, mapping out how a system should be structured, where the risk is, and what tradeoffs matter

- Greenfield builds where you need someone to plan and ship v1 without much hand-holding

- Forward-deployed engineering, embedding with your team or your customer's to take a project from spec to delivery

Recent relevant work:

- Built a messaging system delivering millions of emails and push notifications in minutes (retries, deliverability, observability)

- Deployed real-time pipelines and recommendation systems for tens of millions of users

- Launched a browser-based video editing and encoding platform using FFmpeg, Supabase, and AWS serverless

- Scaled event ingestion 100x to power analytics, experimentation, and targeting

I work best when I can talk directly to whoever owns the problem, and I'm glad to start with a short, well-scoped first deliverable if that's an easier way to size up a fit.

Pragmatic about LLMs: effective for exploration, debugging, documentation, and tightly scoped implementation work when paired with strong engineering judgment and rigid testing.

I'm more than happy to learn a new language or two. I've worked with AI since 2018 at a variety of startups, but I'm equally comfortable with non-AI work.

I've really worked on just about everything. The last few years have been primary various node applications, the few years prior to that were mostly C#, prior to that mobile development...

Looking to get into something new. Open to pretty much anything at this point.
