I'm a seasoned full-stack software engineer with experience in developing data intensive web applications, infrastructure, and engineering management. I produce and ship online and offline products, regularly.
Currently I work at Cardstack, where we develop composable software and agentic AI workflows.
Previously, I co-founded Nightwatch.io, an advanced SEO tracking tool with the highest accuracy in the industry.
On the side, I'm growing my concrete busts business, and designing concrete furniture.
