Twelve years building products and the platforms they run on. I like owning a problem end to end — the feature, the service under it, the pipeline that ships it, and the instrumentation that tells us it worked.
590 merged PRs in the Console monorepo since Feb 2024, plus work in akashjs, akash-api and helm-charts.
- Migrated services from raw GCP and manual deploys to Kubernetes, one Helm chart per service
- Built the observability stack: OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, alerting
- Monorepo and release automation behind a move from 2 → 10 independently deployable services; deploy frequency ~45 → ~170 releases/month
- Payments and managed-wallet platform: Stripe checkout, custodial wallets, automated top-ups, fee grants, batch transaction signing
- Restructured the codebase into npm workspaces; created the notifications and log-forwarding services and extracted transaction signing into its own
Software Engineering Team Lead @readyplayerme — led a team of 7 and helped grow the org from 5 to 30+ engineers: one of several technical interviewers through that growth, plus onboarding and team structure. Built the internal microservices platform — core libraries, service templates, shared CI — behind an avatar API used by 3,500+ developers.
Lead Engineer @PeakersInc — personalization engine, monolith → event-driven microservices.
In akash-network/console, where the first commit is mine:
Services
apps/notifications— alerting and notification service, built from scratch · Mar 2025apps/log-collector— log forwarding for deployments, built from scratch · Jul 2025apps/tx-signer— transaction signing, extracted out of the API into its own service · Jan 2026
Platform packages — the release and developer-experience toolchain
packages/releaser— release with image buildpackages/docker— shared Docker setuppackages/dev-config— centralized code style and TS configpackages/env-loader— unified env loading
Also the npm workspaces restructuring the monorepo runs on, and sustained work across the API, web app, payments and wallet platform, provider marketplace, and the observability stack.
