Software engineer with eight years of experience at remote startups. I've built products from scratch, led a team of eight engineers, and owned architecture, infrastructure, deployments, and production operations.
Most recently, I led engineering for a Bitcoin commerce platform supporting five payment methods, including Lightning. Previously, I built real-time messaging products at Momence and helped launch Crave Delivery at OAK'S LAB.
Outside of commercial work, I build open-source Bitcoin and Lightning tools, maintain self-hosted infrastructure using Ansible, OpenTofu, and Kubernetes, and develop agent tooling, including a multi-agent PR reviewer with isolated development environments.
Looking for a Senior, Staff, Platform, or Founding Engineer role with substantial technical ownership. Available immediately.
