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

English alt / indie / chill while coding — currently rotating through whatever the algorithm serves up.

Watching

Currently making my way through The Witcher.

Open to

Conversations about founding engineering roles, technical mentoring, and consulting on Node/React/Postgres systems. Best ways to reach me:
