Summary

I’m a senior backend/data engineer using Python, Flask, PostgreSQL, AWS and Heroku. I build sites from scratch at a very short period of time in a high quality. If it's built well the first time, you don't need to redo it in the future. I love wearing a lot of hats from engineering to product (please read Employment for more details), and I love the early stage phase and to empower startups or people that have a startup mindset with technology.

Thank you for your consideration!

I was a CTO of a B2C startup in the fintech space to simplify student loan repayment process. I helped raise $5.5M from the best VC-s in the world like Kliener Perkins and from angel investors from Slack, Robinohood, and Dropbox. I grew the team from zero to ten engineers while reaching a high code quality bar. I was in-charge on the product side as well and shaped it to where it is today.
