A little about me
An engineer you
can speak to directly.
I've spent more than eight years building software and leading engineering teams. At Bykea, I led Payments and Delivery. My work also includes Canary7's microservices architecture and technical leadership on PractiCal's live meal subscription platform.
I help businesses build products, work through technical debt and make decisions about the systems behind them. That includes hands-on development and the production work that follows a release.
