Product Engineer
Toronto, Canada
I write the roadmap in the morning, merge the pull request in the afternoon, and review activation metrics the next day.
8+ years building products from 0 to 1.
I build products at the intersection of engineering, strategy, and execution. I help early-stage teams ship production software, shape product direction, and turn ambiguous ideas into systems that scale.
