Now

A snapshot of what I'm doing right now. Updated April 2026.

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.
