Not actively lookingUpdated May 2026A snapshot of what I'm currently focused on. Inspired by nownownow.com.Heads-down at Skipp — not actively looking, but open to interesting conversations.
Where I Am
Status
Building Go backend services, managing CI/CD on GCP & AWS, and shipping full-stack features with React and React Native. Owning infrastructure from scratch at an early-stage startup.
- ›Architected Go microservice structure and go.work monorepo from zero
- ›Provisioned full GCP + AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, CloudFront, Redis)
- ›Built CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions for backend and React apps
- ›Shipped React dashboard and React Native mobile app from scratch
- ›Set up systemd services, Nginx reverse proxy, and Docker environments

Thinking About
Most startups under-invest in developer experience — slow builds, flaky CI, and inconsistent environments kill velocity faster than any technical debt. I've been thinking a lot about how to make the internal dev loop fast and predictable from day one, before the team grows.
