Independent Engineering

Products built beyond assigned scope

Production work shows how I operate inside complex systems. These projects show the same ownership when the product, architecture, delivery path, and quality bar start with me.

CernoviX

A privacy-first financial email workspace that turns inbox data into searchable mail, transactions, accounts, balances, offers, and reconciled financial activity—all processed on-device.

An AI-assisted news intelligence service built to reduce the time teams spend finding, classifying, and acting on product, engineering, and business updates.

  • Built periodic ingestion and AI classification across product, engineering, and business relevance.
  • Delivered concise summaries and recommended actions to Slack, backed by a searchable dashboard for cross-team discovery.
  • Placed runner-up by turning a broad information problem into a focused, usable workflow within a hackathon timeline.

Build with me

Need an engineer who can carry complex systems from design to production?

I combine hands-on backend delivery with architecture, merchant-facing technical decisions, cross-team execution, and the production discipline required for high-stakes payment systems.
