I'm an AI engineer and senior full-stack developer with an aspiration for a team/product lead or CTO-like position. For ~7 years, I was co-founder and CTO of an ed-tech company called amy.app. My co-founder and I scaled the fully-remote company to about 25 employees. Before that, I earned a PhD in Human-Robot Interaction in NZ and Oxford. I've used the past year contracting, after winding down my company, to learn and apply as much as possible about AI solutions. I'm talking; RAG (Multiple TB), Agentic-Search, Deep-Research, LLM based email automation, AI-tools, MCP, Vibe-Coding,... Currently, I'm designing and working on an agentic enterprise search engine for the AEC industry for a customer (Supabase + Vercel AI SDK, Mastra, Multi-Modal Embedding, etc.)

I'm very product/customer-focused and pragmatic. I like to move super fast (not only because of Cursor :D).

My dream environment is an early-stage, fully remote startup.

PS: I have a family, which means the main compensation via shares isn't an option for me.

I have cross-platform experience shipping desktop, mobile, and web applications. Currently focused on Swift/SwiftUI and TypeScript for local-first applications that use SQLite to work reliably offline.

I enjoy working across the full stack and learning new technologies. Have experience with everything from database design to computer vision models, plus some exploration into systems programming and developer tooling.

Looking for a full-time position where I can contribute to interesting technical challenges.
