About
I lead a platform team of six at Lumen Labs, where we run the payments and identity services behind three consumer apps. Before that I built the lending stack at Finly from a prototype to 400,000 customers.
I write about engineering practice, mentor early-career developers, and speak at community meetups when someone asks nicely.
