Product, engineering, and design. End to end.
I design, build, and ship software end to end, happiest turning ambiguous problems into products people actually use. Most people pick a lane. I never could, so I hold the product decision, the data model, and the user experience at once.
For the last several years I've built operating platforms, field tools, and the systems underneath them for a growing, real-world business, usually owning the whole arc from "what should this even be" to shipped and running in production.
