Tech/Resume/CV:

I'm a software engineer who specializes in turning internal knowledge into well-documented, external-facing APIs. I’ve worked with teams at the NBA, Kiwi.com, and Redfolder Research to help them expose structured data from sources like Airtable, spreadsheets, PDFs, and Jira — with minimal lift on their side.

I’m open to freelance, contract, or full-time roles where I can lead API design and delivery, particularly in media, publishing, or research-focused teams.

- Production-ready APIs from messy data

- Fixed-scope freelance projects or long-term roles

- Async-native, autonomous, results-focused (can run self-managed)

- Worked in stacks based on [Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Golang] but I'm flexible on technology choices
