Hi, my name is Stephen! Former Head of Backend Engineering department (API, Data Eng, AI, DevOps) with 10YOE. I experienced the entire startup journey from founding member to series D valuation as a unicorn. I've led multiple teams of engineers through various growth phases and know how to balance Product delivery and Org growth.

- Roles I'm interested in: Senior Eng Manager / Head of Dpt / VP of Eng / Staff IC

- What am I looking for: Later than Series A with a solid project and ambition. I want to feel connected to the vision and I'll bring it to life. Want to work with likeminded people that share a common approach to work.

- What do I bring: Deep knowledge of the entire Backend stack and how to scale an Engineering product, both technically and operationally. I know the pitfalls of startup growth and where to focus instead. Hard worker with a problem-solving mindset and an empathic and holistic leadership I can either build or lead Engineering orgs. Or I can be a core contributor to your product.

If you want to chat or have a matching opportunity please reach out! Cheers ~
