I've been hacking on my vision and the money out here just isn't enough so I want limited duration tech work, 40hr+ time for a short period, or like half time on an ongoing basis. I could be fractional CTO, have been offered a Director position.

Thanks for reading.

Summary: Lead Full Stack Engineer (10 YOE). I’ve spent my career at the intersection of enterprise scale (United Airlines, Cisco) and product velocity. I’m an expert in React/TS and Node.js, with deep experience in Kafka and AWS. Recently, I've been shipping production-ready RAG pipelines and AI agents. I’m a generalist who loves the "hard" parts of the web—orchestration, performance, and building things that don't break under pressure. Looking for a Staff/Lead role where I can own the product and ship fast.
