Based in San Francisco. I've spent 8+ years as a founding engineer at startups — wearing every hat from backend infrastructure to developer tooling — and I thrive on ambiguity.
Working on AI-powered cashflow analytics and credit risk intelligence. Pave helps lenders identify creditworthy borrowers missed by traditional credit scoring — processing 100M+ monthly credit risk evaluations across consumer and SMB lending.
Spent 8 years as a founding engineer at Moesif, an API analytics and monetization platform. In a startup, you do everything — from architecting backend infrastructure and building SDKs across Python, .NET, Ruby, and Lua, to integrations with Kong, AWS Lambda, and Elasticsearch. Helped grow the product from zero to a full developer platform trusted by engineering teams worldwide.

Middleware for .NET Framework and .NET Core with full API observability and monetization features.
Kong Gateway plugin for capturing API traffic and pushing it to Moesif for analytics and debugging.
