Skills

Technical leader with an interest in finding the right solution for the problem at hand. I aim for user and product empathy and breadth of knowledge, combined with ability to select the best individuals for in-depth knowledge of necessary topics. I have over 10 years of experience in building REST APIs, cross platform software architecture, scaling systems to meet demand and managing the costs of building and running those systems. My ideal challenge requires a mix of something I know well, for example, architecture of large scale applications, API development and team organization with a product I am eager to improve.
