Product & roadmap clarity
Turn fuzzy goals into shippable slices: scope, trade-offs, and a technical path that matches runway and risk.
Staff full-stack · Angular, Node, mobile · SaaS at scale
I help founders ship and scale products as a product engineering partner.
Years of lead/staff work on design systems, complex web systems, and full-stack SaaS — plus I build my own startups and publish books for builders (including Agentic Engineering and vibe coding with guardrails).
Hands-on Staff Engineer with a strong background in software architecture, UX/UI design, and performance optimization. Experienced in leading teams, mentoring developers, and driving product development from concept to commercialization. Passionate about building scalable, high-performance applications with a deep understanding of modern web technologies, accessibility, and design systems. Skilled in cross-functional collaboration, bridging the gap between engineering, business, and marketing to deliver user-centric solutions. Proven ability to enhance developer experience, streamline workflows, and create maintainable codebases that scale. 🚀

How I help founders
Architecture that survives growth
Frontend systems (Angular, component libraries), APIs, and full-stack structure — pragmatic, not buzzword-driven.
Team velocity & quality
Reviews, standards, mentoring, and tooling so your team ships faster without painting yourself into a corner.
Startups & products I build
I’m not only advising — I ship. That keeps me hireable, sharp, and aligned with what founders actually face day to day.

If you’re a founder or small team with a real product and engineering risk, I’d rather hear the messy truth than a polished pitch deck.
