Vetted Platform design developer in Canada (UTC-7)

Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with experience (and an MSc) in AI/ML. A self-starter with a passion for tackling complex problems and empowering others to tackle them too. Experienced in all forms of development, mentoring and leading teams, I have many years of experience in growing and scaling early stage startups (with some success stories too!). I was a key member in growing Pointy from Series A to its acquisition by Google for $160 million, and a pivotal member in growing Nory as the second engineer, from pre-seed to a +$45 million evaluation. I have thrived in many scenarios, some with high levels of complexity and ambiguity. I can happily contribute to existing code or greenfield projects, and I'm passionate about applying solid software development principles to AI & ML problems. I have expertise in AWS & GCP, Python backends (with a preference for Starlette, FastAPI, and Django frameworks) and React, TypeScript, Redux frontends. A wealth of experience with containerisation and orchestration tools, CI/CD tools, and a broad range of DBs. Capable and eager to learn new stacks though!

Vetted Platform design developer in Canada (UTC-4)

Curious, passionate, autonomous. I grew the most professionally at Tactill. As a CTO and lead developer, I was assigned the task to redo the product from scratch. The amount of responsibilities, between the design of the architecture, the development of 12 node.js micro-services, their deployment and maintenance and finally the management of other team members and their tasks taught me how to prioritize tasks, manage pressure and properly design a fully featured architecture. One of my proudest contributions was the project that I was working at [mims.ai](http://mims.ai/). I worked on the multi agent symbolic AI system. Right from the start I could tell that the system was designed around actor oriented programming principles and I suggested that we use an existing actor programming library instead of doing it by hand with golang channels. After a month of work to integrate the library and 2 more months to redesign part of the system our code had shrunk by more than 40%, the design was easily understandable and the speed of the system increased 50x thanks to the use of the lock free queues provided by the library. I also added tools to debug and test the system that helped us to go forward without regression. Additionally, my coworkers would say I'm knowledgeable, that I'm not afraid to get in the dirt or stir it if necessary and that I'm reliable, helping as soon as I can.
