My work
I work as a fractional tech lead for founders and lean teams who need senior engineering judgment, hands-on implementation, and software that can keep moving after launch.
Worked as Principal Engineer on ChatSheet AI, building backend systems for multiple MVPs and enabling vector-based context search across several CMS platforms.
ChatSheet AI shipped multiple MVPs during the engagement and gained backend infrastructure for vector-based context search across multiple CMS platforms. The work helped the team test AI product directions quickly while keeping the underlying systems understandable and extensible.
Worked as Principal Engineer for Kuatro Group, building backend infrastructure and data pipelines that helped a pharmacy-focused machine learning product move toward market.
Kuatro Group gained the backend infrastructure needed to support the new pharmacy product and move it closer to market. The engagement also gave the existing team clearer backend patterns, a narrower delivery scope, and more confidence working with the product infrastructure around their machine learning work.
Worked as Senior Software Engineer for Candy.io, extending OpenSearch-backed marketplace search through a GraphQL API consumed by a Next.js frontend.
Candy.io gained more capable marketplace search exposed through the existing GraphQL API and consumed by the Next.js frontend. The admin site also gained extended functionality through RPC work, supporting internal operations alongside the customer-facing marketplace.
Worked as Senior Software Engineer on Fox Atlas, building a media contextualization platform that continuously ingested Fox content, analyzed it with ML, and made the results available for ad-segmentation workflows.
Fox Atlas moved forward as a state-of-the-art media contextualization platform, with continuously ingested content analyzed through ML and exposed for segment building so advertising teams could serve more relevant ads.
Worked as Senior Software Engineer for Everphone, adding Typesense-powered search to a Rails internal tool so employees could find operational information faster in their day-to-day work.
The internal tool gained practical search functionality, helping Everphone employees find the information they needed without relying as heavily on slower manual navigation through the application.
