About

Senior Product Engineer

Technical lead with 10+ years building and scaling production software across fintech, marketplaces, SaaS, healthcare, mobile, and AI-enabled products. I've led small teams, designed systems from scratch, modernized legacy codebases, and built revenue-generating products independently.

I'm strongest where product requirements, architecture, and implementation overlap: clarifying what needs to be built, shaping the technical path, collaborating with engineers and stakeholders, writing production code, and shipping maintainable systems that hold up beyond the first release.

Worked with the team to architect a cohesive AI influencer generation system — integrating Stable Diffusion pipelines, open-source and paid tooling, and production workflows that made consistent character output repeatable at scale.

Approach
01

Simple when simple is enough. I look for the clearest technical path that solves the real problem without adding unnecessary weight. The best solution is usually the one the team can understand, ship, and maintain.

02

Where product meets engineering. I work well where user needs, business constraints, and technical execution overlap. That is usually where the important tradeoffs happen.

03

Build to clarify. A working prototype reveals unclear requirements faster than a long planning cycle. I like to get something real in front of people, learn from it, and improve.

04

Systems over heroics. A codebase that fights the team slows the product down. I care about clear patterns, shared ownership, maintainability, and reducing future drag.

05

Order from ambiguity. I'm useful when requirements are changing, systems have grown complicated, or the team needs someone to connect the pieces and create a practical path forward.

06

Impact over output. Shipping matters, but features are not the goal by themselves. I focus on work that improves users, reliability, business outcomes, or team velocity.
