Summary

Senior Backend Engineer with 15+ years of experience specializing in Node.js, data pipelines, high-volume integrations, and building scalable systems. My strongest work sits at the intersection of backend, product, and practical architecture: turning complex ideas into scalable software, workflows, and APIs.

I've been an early engineer at a US trading platform, co-founder and CTO of a fintech that was acquired, and a technical partner at an energy trading platform, so I'm used to owning a system from the first commit through years of production. Some of my career highlights are: Some of my career highlights are:

  • Backend Platform Leadership: Five years as an early engineer at TrendSpider, a US trading platform that grew from 4,000+ traders in 2020 to 20,000+ by 2026. Built its authentication service, which still handles every user, and the pipelines behind its alternative data.
  • Scalable Data Pipelines: Built AWS Lambda/serverless pipelines processing 6K+ tickers and 200M+ social profiles on large-scale financial/social datasets across Redis, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL.
  • AI in production: built the backend for TrendSpider's AI coding assistant, which also powers code generation in Sidekick, the platform's AI agent. Traders describe an strategy or bot in English and we allow them to run and backtest on them.
  • Founder and team lead: co-founder and CTO of Zimp, acquired in 2017. Later technical lead and partner at ENbox, an trading platform: hired the engineering team and built the product from scratch.
