    Hi! Product engineer with strong backend &amp; infra&#x2F;DevOps experience here. I have 9 YOE with a mix of enterprise and startup; 3+ YOE working remotely in a globally distributed team; looking for a backend or backend-leaning fullstack role.

    Early in my career, I led the technical side of a workflow automation project at Earthlink - a big local enterprise. Later, I contributed 3+ years to Automattic (US) - the company behind WordPress. I&#x27;ve built and maintained time-sensitive, high-throughput services processing millions of ops daily.

    While I&#x27;m a technical guy by title, I&#x27;ve worked very closely with business - collaborating with customers and product owners to understand and translate their needs into systems.
