Builder by default
I'm a full-stack engineer who ended up leading teams, and never lost the habit of building things on the side.
At Collective[i] I led a team of six engineers on a Go microservices platform: real-time WebSocket infrastructure, zero-downtime deployments, and a full identity-provider migration for over 100,000 users. At Unity I built blockchain tooling for game developers and consulted for web3 customers including Google and The Sandbox.
AI isn't a recent pivot for me. In 2017, while still in college, I co-founded a company that built a world-class lip-reading AI for noisy drive-thrus. By 2019 it was beating the best published benchmarks in the field. We secured patent CA 3065446, which was later acquired and licensed by a major fast-food chain. Meanwhile, I started a window-cleaning business that's still profitable six years later, and grew a YouTube channel into a full-service content agency.
Today I'm the CEO of Slynk, an outcome-based wellness platform where employers stop paying vendors and start paying people: employees unlock real rewards by hitting verified health goals.
Things I'm proud of
Identity migration at scale
Led a full Okta → Auth0 migration for 100k+ users with zero production downtime, and made login 65% faster in the process.
Blockchain tooling at Unity
Built Unity's NFT and blockchain tooling for game developers, live on multiple chains and used by millions, plus a blockchain proxy securing client access to nodes.
