I am a product-minded full-stack mobile developer (iOS, Android, Backend) looking for a leadership role where I can directly impact technical direction, prioritization, and product decisions. This could take the form of a tech lead, engineering manager, or senior/principal developer.

In my most recent role, I brought Stationhead, a social radio platform, from stealth mode to Series A, outcompeting well-funded startups (Clubhouse) and big-tech plays (Amazon Amp, Spotify Greenroom). Highlights from my work at Stationhead include: * building our first revenue-generating feature, owning it from ideation and architecture design through to implementation and delivery; * leading the team bringing Android development in-house to improve the quality of the app, user experience, and increase the tempo of developing new features.
