A snapshot of what I'm doing right now. .
## working
Full-time as Founding Engineer at Discovr ↗, an AI-native social media marketing agency. Built the RBAC system, a Go backend powering AI script & content review, and a monorepo spanning React dashboards plus an Astro landing page. Leading 2 interns and managing AWS deployments.
## recently
Wrapped up Founding Engineer at Pick A Pad (Mar 2025 – Mar 2026), where I owned a multi-tenant SaaS platform end-to-end across PostgreSQL, Node.js, and React.
Also wrapped a short Technical Mentor stint at CipherSchool (Jan–Mar 2026), teaching Java full-stack — Spring Boot, React, and PostgreSQL — to 3rd-year students at LPU.
## building
Sharpening this portfolio (you're looking at it). On the side: small developer tools that scratch my own itches.
## learning
- Distributed systems patterns — actually shipping the boring stuff
- LLM tooling — agentic workflows beyond chat UIs
- Going deeper on PostgreSQL internals
## reading
- Designing Data-Intensive Applications — Martin Kleppmann
- Java Concurrency in Practice — Brian Goetz
- Concurrency in Go — Katherine Cox-Buday
- ByteByteGo ↗ system-design articles, on and off
## listening
Currently on repeat: The 1975 — Being Funny in a Foreign Language ↗. English alt / indie / chill while coding; the rest of the queue rotates with whatever the algorithm serves up.
## watching
Currently making my way through The Witcher ↗ on Netflix.
## open to
Conversations about founding engineering roles, technical mentoring, and consulting on Node/React/Postgres systems. Best ways to reach me:
This is a /now page ↗. The idea: instead of a stale "About" page, a short note that gets updated every few months with what's actually current.
