Path so far
Jul 2024 – Present
Founder & CTO at Slotify
I founded Slotify and built the whole product myself — Bun, TypeScript, Vue and React on the surface, an open-source SDK underneath, and a full analytics engine on DynamoDB and Postgres. The stack holds 99.9% uptime under real concurrent load, and a lean Cloud Run footprint cut infrastructure cost by about a third without giving back latency.
Oct 2018 – Jul 2024
Lead / Senior Software Developer at Tulip Retail
Across nearly six years I mentored four engineers, saved about $60K a year by profiling Node microservices and right-sizing compute, and lifted application performance by 60% through query, index, and cache work — including Hudson's Bay's Gift Registry and event-driven Excel pipelines on S3, SQS, and Lambda.
Oct 2017 – Oct 2018
Senior Software Developer at Horizn Studio
I shortened time-to-market with a Laravel and React MVP, cut bugs by about 30% with unit, integration, and end-to-end coverage, and kept shipping fast, reliable PHP APIs across Symfony, Laravel, and the rest of a busy framework stack.
Jan 2016 – Oct 2017
Senior Software Developer at Tickld Inc.
I took a monolithic blogging platform and made it feel forty percent faster — hunting down broken caching assumptions, rewriting hot queries, and removing the friction that was quietly taxing every page view.
