Experience: 7+ years

I'm a full-stack engineer with 7+ years of experience building and scaling production systems — from early-stage startups to global enterprises with 150,000+ employees.

Most recently, I was a Senior Software Engineer at Flywheel Digital, where I helped lead backend development on Commerce Cloud, integrating data pipelines and services for Fortune 500 partners like Amazon, Walmart, and Target. Prior to that, I helped grow a seed-stage startup (WellCaddie) to a $15M+ valuation and run a consultancy focused on bespoke web applications.

I specialize in Laravel and TypeScript, with deep experience in the full product lifecycle, large-scale refactors, and reducing technical debt in complex legacy codebases.

Looking for: Full-time remote roles focused on Laravel, TypeScript, or other full-stack engineering. Particularly interested in teams modernizing legacy systems or scaling mature products.
