About Me

Senior Software Engineer |
Technical Advisor FORMER CTO · STARTUP FOUNDER

I'm a pragmatic problem solver at heart. With 20+ years in tech, I've built distributed systems, helped engineering teams grow, and learned to value clarity, simplicity, and practical solutions.

Having built startups myself, I understand the challenges of turning an idea into a working product. I bring that experience to technical advisory, helping startups and tech teams balance architecture and technology choices with business constraints, even in a short call.

Off the clock, I'm hands-on with electronics, IoT, and Smart Home, hacking together 3D-printed parts for whatever I'm obsessed with that week.

What I Do

I help with both technical decisions and hands-on engineering. Sometimes all you need is a short call to work through a specific question.

  • 01

    Technical Advisory & MVPs

    Got an idea? Let's check its technical feasibility, weigh technology choices, and define a focused MVP. I can also help build it when you're ready.

  • 02

    System Architecture

    Need a second opinion on your architecture? I help weigh trade-offs, spot unnecessary complexity, and design systems that fit your product and budget.

  • 03

    Platform and DevOps

    Cloud costs growing or deployments getting complicated? I help review your setup and simplify infrastructure and pipelines, with reliability and developer experience in mind.

  • 04

    Tech Teams

    I help tech teams work through decisions, explain the trade-offs, and agree on practical next steps. I also bring hands-on experience building and leading engineering teams.
