Tech lead/Senior software engineer

I help web development teams go further. I focus on practices that facilitate a leaner journey towards profitable and maintainable software. My goal is to help create efficient, sustainable solutions with people with a long-term vision. Here are some of the ways I've done this in the past:

• Stepped in mid-project to lead to success the 6-person team in charge of a flawed but critical migration task.
• Led and mentored people at all experience levels, including small business owners seeking practical, self-managed solutions, early-career developers joining new teams, and experienced developers transitioning to new technologies.
• Established and evolved the delivery process blueprint for development teams of a freelance collective I co-founded and actively participated in for seven years.
• Optimized application performance, improved test coverage, enhanced email delivery, facilitated cross-team communication, and strengthened security posture
• Reviewed countless pull requests, resolved numerous issues, and delivered even more features working closely with internal teams,
• Advised against hiring me and proposed alternatives when what I bring would not have helped.

Although I prefer longer engagements, as I'm convinced the cumulative effect of small, consistent adjustments in the right direction offers more lasting benefits, I can rely on a hard-earned ability to quickly comprehend complex code bases and project contexts to bring meaningful improvements on shorter commitments.

I can work in parallel to your project team, delivering high-impact quality of life improvements that often get sidelined, but also integrated into a team as a lead or software engineer, or for shorter engagements, independently, focused on resolving a specific pain point.
