I'm Open to Work
Mailshake has terminated my employment after 8+ years.
In that time, I...
- Started as engineer #3
- Moved into management thanks to an awesome CTO
- Ran a 10-person team across backend, frontend, QA, and support
- Scaled down to 2 engineers while maintaining productivity
- Reduced annual AWS spend by ~70% over 3 years
- Was always on-call and handled support escalations
- Ran technical due diligence on 4 acquisition targets (2 closed)
- Migrated and maintained acquired products post-close
- Built agentic systems for development and support triage
- Pushed AI context to its limits building across 75+ repos
- Built an email infrastructure product from zero to production
- Led annual security assessments and SOC 2 readiness efforts
- Even got to admin a Windows server running WordPress
I'm looking for Principal/Staff IC roles, player-coach leadership, and founding engineer roles. Remote preferred, hybrid and on-site work too. Just not in Austin since we're relocating mid-2027.
I'm enthusiastic about AI, having already built multiple software factories and production LLM-powered workflows. I get genuinely excited about taking spreadsheet-based systems and disrupting them through automation.
Recruiters, you can find me on LinkedIn or reach out directly.
