Senior engineer, 6 years. I mostly get hired for these things: rebuilding systems nobody wants to touch, and making AI-assisted development safe enough to actually ship.
Also, I'm pretty funny.
Recent work:
- Zero-downtime migration engine off a 10-year-old document store. 206,011 users moved, DB cost went from $1,600/mo to $80/mo.
- Risk-tiered review pipeline with an AI reviewer holding merge authority; the team, including a non-engineer cofounder, shipped 600+ PRs through it.
- CPQ/pricing platform for a manufacturer: pricing engine, configuration resolver, CAD/ERP integration, led two engineers. Time to quote down from 2-6 weeks to <10 minutes.
