I'm a former journalist who learned to ship accurate work on daily deadlines. That wiring is the foundation of what drives me to build products.

I'm a product guy — the user is always first. I build from the outside in: I start with the user experience and work backwards to the code. Most engineers work the opposite, architecture to user. That difference shows up in the final product.

I design, build, and ship full-stack agentic AI systems. Foodbe is a live working demo of the system I built. A Gated Truth Architecture: an MCP-aware brain determines user intent, routes it to the right expert, retrieves from a verified citation-locked fact library, and returns an answer that can't lie. Quality insight.

Claude Code and Cursor are my primary tools. No handoffs, no translation loss, no committee.

18+ years shipping production interfaces for enterprise B2B clients. My architecture is vertical-agnostic. The pattern is the product.

Looking for: fractional, part-time, or contract roles — applied AI / founding engineer / AI product engineer.

Especially interested in embedding the architecture into a startup in a regulated industry — healthcare, legal, finance — where wrong answers are expensive.

I was the second engineer at an a16z-backed fintech and owned the payment stack for two years. That meant ACH, wire, check, and card rails, a double-entry PostgreSQL ledger, and webhook pipelines designed to stay correct under duplicate delivery and out-of-order events. The platform processed over $150M across 1,800+ customers with zero overdrafts and zero duplicate payment entries. I also ran the migration from Firebase to PostgreSQL, which took ten months and kept every customer live throughout the cutover.

The most interesting bug I ever debugged was a race condition in the ACH settlement logic that only appeared when two payments cleared within about 20 milliseconds of each other under specific account nesting conditions. It took three two to reproduce reliably in staging. The actual fix was a single predicate added to a SELECT FOR UPDATE query.

After leaving I built a SOC 2 audit agent in LangGraph that covers two financial controls end to end and cut tool calls from 38 to 5 by front-loading deterministic checks before touching the LLM at all.

I am currently looking for founding engineer or backend roles. Open to both remote and on-site roles.

I’m a Software Engineer / AI Engineer with experience building scalable full-stack applications, cloud-native systems, and AI-powered workflows. My background includes backend engineering, GenAI applications, workflow automation, CI/CD, and end-to-end product development using modern technologies across web, cloud, and AI stacks.

I enjoy building practical, high-impact products and have worked across startup-style environments where I’ve had strong ownership over architecture, deployment, and feature delivery.

Currently seeking full-time software engineering opportunities across AI/GenAI, backend, and full-stack development. Open to remote opportunities and relocation.

Location: Austin, TX

Remote: Remote/Hybrid/On-Site

Willing to relocate: To California, Massachusetts, Canada, or Europe for the right opportunity

Technologies: Go (Golang), Rust, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, SQLite, NixOS, Cloudflare (everything, the whole Cloudflare Developer Platform - I would call myself an expert at this, as I've dogfooded most new developer platform products as they released), Kubernetes

CV: https://piperswe.me/cv.pdf

Email: [anything]@piperswe.me

I just got laid off by Cloudflare, looking for a position doing infrastructure & backend work. I spent my time at Cloudflare working on the Waiting Room, Health Checks, and Load Balancing products, three distributed systems which crunch global data to make decisions globally. I'm happy to move down-stack as well (e.g. to systems programming, especially in Rust).
