I'm a senior full-stack engineer with six years of fully remote experience. I work mostly in TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and AWS. I like the parts of a system where being wrong is expensive. At Boardera, the platform was tied to one cloud vendor, and that kept us away from regulated and on-prem customers. I replaced it with one object-storage interface that works with S3, GCS, and Azure, and wrote the request signing myself so we didn't need the cloud SDKs. On another project, two systems both claimed to own the same value. I made the external system the owner, and that ended a whole class of sync problems. I also build AI systems, and I put the limits inside the system itself. One is a multi-agent setup where the part that does the work needs a person's approval first. Another is a multimodal reviewer that reads visual diffs and tells you what changed. It only advises and never blocks a release. On the frontend, I work on design systems and UI quality. Most recently that was localization for a component library used by two product apps. Before that I built visual-regression tooling that catches UI breakage across screen sizes. Day to day that means distributed systems, platform architecture, API design, and design systems at scale. I've used GraphQL and MongoDB for six years, along with PostgreSQL, Redis, and tRPC. I start each feature by talking with the owner until we agree on the problem and what done looks like, then I see it through to production with reviewers in other time zones. I'm open to senior and staff software engineer roles, full-stack, backend, or frontend, at remote-first teams.
