Staff-level product/platform engineer

I build product and platform systems where production judgment matters.

Product engineer who builds and runs his own consumer products end to end — payments, access control, SEO, growth — and operates high-traffic platforms at scale: 24M+ users, Kubernetes/GCP, AI-native delivery, ownership from first commit to postmortem.

For hiring teams: Staff / Senior Staff product-platform roles. For clients: long-term contractor or EOR engagements. TypeScript · React · Node.js · AI-assisted delivery · GCP · Kubernetes

Capabilities

What I do

I wear many hats, but my core focus is building scalable systems from architecture to deployment.

  • Full-stack platform delivery: Transitioning legacy logic to modern React/Node.js stacks.
  • Reliability-sensitive engineering: Scaling architectures for 30K+ global users via Kubernetes.
  • Technical leadership & scoping: Translating vague business problems into architectural plans and running them end-to-end.

Working Model

How I work

I am strongest where product, backend, frontend, infrastructure, and production risk overlap. I thrive in async, remote-first environments and take ownership of what goes to production.

  • End-to-end Ownership: If I build it, I run it. I monitor deployments, data pipelines, AI-assisted outputs, and user-facing behavior in production.
  • Async, Written First: Technical clarity over endless meetings. I produce documentation, RFCs, and decision logs as a natural byproduct of development.
  • Product and business judgment: I look for the user and business constraint behind the technical work, then shape the smallest reliable path to production.
