Let's Talk
I'm selectively exploring new opportunities. Here's what I'm looking for — and what I'm not.
Problems I Want to Work On
- High-throughput data systems — ad serving, event streaming, real-time analytics
- Developer infrastructure — internal platforms, CI/CD, container orchestration
- Distributed systems at scale — consistency, availability, and failure mode engineering
- Platform engineering — building the systems that other engineers build on
Roles I'm Considering
Staff Engineer
High-scale distributed systems, platform engineering, or developer infrastructure. I want to own technical direction across multiple teams.
Top tech companies, scale-ups with serious engineering challenges.
Principal Engineer
Cross-org technical strategy, architecture governance, and driving engineering culture. Less day-to-day coding, more systems thinking.
Large engineering orgs where technical leadership is a distinct career track.
Architect / CTO
Early-stage or growth-stage startups where I can shape the entire technical foundation — from architecture to team structure to engineering culture.
Startups in ad-tech, developer tools, infrastructure, or data platforms.
Technical Lead
Leading a focused engineering team on a hard technical problem. Hands-on coding plus team leadership.
Product companies with ambitious technical roadmaps.
What I Value in a Team
- Hard technical problems — systems that need to scale, fail gracefully, and evolve
- Engineering culture that values depth over velocity theater
- Autonomy to make architectural decisions and own outcomes
- Teams that write RFCs, do post-mortems, and treat incidents as learning opportunities
- Async-first communication and thoughtful documentation
What I'm Not Looking For
- —Pure management roles with no technical depth
- —CRUD application development without architectural challenges
- —Environments where engineering is purely execution, not strategy
- —Companies where observability and reliability are afterthoughts
If this resonates, I'd love to talk. I respond to thoughtful outreach.
