About

I’m an engineering leader and architect with over 15 years of experience building scalable systems in React/Next.js, Python, and Node.js. Currently serving as Senior Engineering Manager at April, I lead a senior full-stack team while staying hands-on—architecting tax software, LLM-powered document parsing, and cloud-native infrastructure on GCP with Terraform. My background spans fintech, SaaS, and media, including a CTO role at a fintech startup and staff engineering at Revv and Inc Magazine. I specialize in AI/LLM integration, high-performance data systems, and DevOps, with a proven record of mentoring teams and delivering mission-critical products.
