About

I'm a principal engineer and founder with a passion for combining technical expertise, product design, and innovative thinking to make the internet increasingly awesome. In my 17+ years, I’ve lead engineering, product, and design, with dev contributions in frontend, backend, machine learning, and data pipelines.

---

My first love is web development and product design. I’ve increasingly mastered of these disciplines, both in my professional work at MongoDB, the Huffington Post, and NYU Research, as well as in my three startups. I’ve been at the cutting edge of new developments in the browser and the cloud for a very long time.

I’ve also spent the last decade expanding my expertise into other disciplines, both as a personal challenge and as a means of becoming a dynamic, effective asset. I have personally designed and implemented numerous AI-driven products, infrastructure projects, data pipelines, browser automations (+ testing, scraping, image/pdf generation), and CI/CD workflows.

Over time, I’ve grown increasingly passionate about leading, not only projects, but people as well. Indeed, I’ve built numerous teams from the ground up, and at MongoDB, I also had the privilege of mentoring new leaders on these teams, developing an autonomous, happy, and productive workforce.

I can help you level-up in numerous areas:

- Frontend development and design.
- Backend, database, and infrastructure.
- AI engineering, generative AI, and ML fundamentals.
- Architecture, design patterns, and system design.
- CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and monitoring.
- Product design, user research, and user experience.
- Management, leadership, communication, and writing skills.
- Resume review, interviewing, and presentation.
- Bootstrapping your own startup.

Reach out, and tell me what you want to learn. Nothing makes me happier than seeing devs reach their full potential.
