At Shopify he led critical billing systems for millions of merchants and ran a large database migration; at SAP he grew teams from hiring to production delivery and cut support load by 80% through improved observability. He’s also an active open-source contributor with meaningful backend contributions to the popular tmuxinator project, improving session startup and window sync features.
