He combines full‑stack expertise in Ruby on Rails, Python/Django, Angular, and AWS with hands-on leadership—taking products from architecture and prototype to investment-ready systems. At Kobiks he led cross-platform evolution and custom search engine design, and more recently drove AI-powered quantitative features and integrations at Biyond.
