Summary

He currently works on the Pyth Network at Douro Labs after driving growth-platform efforts at Verkada and foundational backend, multi-tenant, and CI/CD systems at Phyt.Health.

He pairs hands-on implementation skills (databases, message queues, APIs, Kubernetes/ECS) with product-driven thinking from early-stage product work to large-scale revenue products. An early robotics instructor and former UCSD CSE head tutor, he brings both mentorship experience and a knack for turning complex requirements into reliable, test-covered systems.
