a product-driven collaborative human into open source, community, performance & scaling

I’m an experienced leader & product-minded engineer deeply interested in collaboratively building useful products. With a backround spanning from small startups to scaling unicorns, I bring a wealth of experience in Elixir, Ruby and SQL complemented by JavaScript. I love Open Source, participating in the community and giving talks. My passion for performance optimization and benchmarking led me to create open source tooling. In my most recent role as a Senior Staff Engineer, I led teams to success by removing obstacles, fostering a culture of collaboration and filling the gaps. Whether managing a product department of 15 or mentoring junior developers, my greatest joy comes from empowering others. I am fascinated by the human side of software development and continually strive for the optimal balance between immediate value delivery and long-term sustainability.
