Backend engineer & engineering leader, Toronto
I have spent ten years building the backend systems other people’s businesses run on: order processing, third-party integrations, financial calculations, the parts that are not allowed to fail quietly.
These days I work for myself, on backend architecture for early-stage products and on airescue, which gets apps built with AI coding tools ready for real users.
