ABOUT ME

Expert backend engineer, architect, CTO with 10 years of experience

Contact me if you need help:

Building anything with Ruby, Go, or a similar language
Setting up or maintaining infrastructure in Google Cloud Platform
Fixing a performance issue or bug
Designing an API
Setting up / maintaining security at your company
Turning a product spec into a technical plan
Code review

I have 10 years of experience writing production code, 8 years of experience managing engineers, and 5 years of experience as a VP Engineering / CTO. I've spent thousands of hours pair programming with other engineers. My expertise is in rapidly understanding a problem and systematically breaking it down until we have a solution. I can help you with both brand new projects and messy code that has been around for years.

My experience means that as we work through your specific challenge, I'll also suggest ways to prevent and address similar issues in the future. My goal is for you to walk away with not just a solution but tools that you can use in the future without my help.

Right now I'm building my own tech company and also advising a few tech startups at different stages.

Let me know the issue you are facing and we can solve it together.
