About

I build backend systems that don't break when things get real. At SpurTree Technologies, I own end-to-end delivery from designing RAG pipelines to shipping production-grade AWS ETL infrastructure for financial clients. I care about outcomes, not just tickets closed. What I'm looking for: An early-stage YC company where I can join as a founding or early engineer, move fast, take ownership, and grow toward a Staff/CTO-track role. I'm at my best in environments where engineers talk directly to users and ship things that matter. Stack: Python · Django · AWS · PostgreSQL · Microsoft Power BI · LangChain · RAG pipelines If you're building something hard — let's talk.
