I'm a senior full-stack engineer based in La Canada Flintridge, California. I help SaaS teams find and fix architecture risks and infrastructure cost waste before they become outages or budget crises. Available for full-time employment, contract work, or consulting engagements.
I've spent over ten years building and operating production systems. On the application side: Node.js, React, TypeScript. On the operations side: Docker, Linux, custom CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and infrastructure automation. I've built and managed systems end-to-end — from database design through deployment and production operations. Most of that experience is on self-managed infrastructure, which is significantly harder than relying on managed cloud services. That depth is what I bring to every engagement. I work with US and European teams across time zones, with strong overlap during both US and EU business hours.
My biggest proof point: I built and operated a high-volume subscription SaaS platform — 100,000+ transactions, 5,000+ concurrent paying subscribers, and six-figure revenue. Self-managed infrastructure: Docker containers, custom deployment automation, production monitoring, multi-currency payment systems, and capacity planning. I made every technical decision from architecture through production operations. That experience is the lens through which I evaluate infrastructure — not theory, but real production operations with real revenue on the line.
