I'm a software engineer with 5+ years of experience, currently at HelloFresh, where I work on backend systems and platform architecture. I led the updated architecture of a multi-region QA platform serving the US, Canada, EU, and Australia - the kind of work where the hard part isn't the code, it's the product and organizational calls that keep one codebase sane across four regions.

I like building things that move a number. At HelloFresh I shipped a bundling algorithm that cut warehouse cart runs by 6%, a FastAPI service that eliminated heaps of manual data entry into Redzone, and auto-picking functionality that raised kitbag cart-run throughput. Before that, three years at ZoomInfo on their sales-engagement platform Engage - cutting p95 latency by 43%, building backend microservices for the AI Emailer, and full-stack work across the frontend. That's where I got comfortable owning features end to end, across the stack.

What I care about most now is the product and the people building it. I'm at my best turning fuzzy business goals into systems that ship, making the calls on architecture and scope, and bringing a team with me. That's the kind of leadership I care about - and I hold the bar on code quality just as high while doing it. Product taste and clear communication amplify strong engineering; they don't replace it.
