About

I'm a technical lead based in Phuket, Thailand. For the past 10+ years I've been shipping production SaaS – architecture, delivery, operations – usually owning the full stack alone.

Most recently I solo-built a content discovery platform from scratch: semantic search with CLIP, trainable ML moderation, async pipelines on NATS JetStream, and production Kubernetes infrastructure provisioned with Terraform. The moderation system is open-sourced as Headmaster.

Before that I spent 8 years as a lead engineer at Mayven Studios, shipping multi-year products for clients including A16z, IBM, and Hired. One of those – Podcorn, a podcast advertising marketplace – was acquired for $10M.

I work across Python, PHP/Laravel, TypeScript/Vue, and cloud-native infrastructure. I write here about the engineering decisions behind what I build.
