I am a founder, team lead, consultant, and a developer. I've been wearing multiple hats throughout my career in software development and software products. I pride myself in client/server integrations and software architecture. Currently I work at Smart Cloud helping our clients to get from idea/MVP to fundraising.

Co Founder, CTO, Software Product Manager @ From August 2013 to Present (2 years 3 months) San Francisco Bay AreaSoftware Consultant @ I was helping clients build software products top to bottom from MVP phase through several iterations and pivots. On some projects I was working solo and was responsible for entire tech stack (usually Rails/iOS) on other projects I was leading teams of up to 3 developers. In almost every case I was the point of contact for stakeholder working directly with them. I helped them understand the business problem they are seeking to solve and what technological or automation solution would be the best fit. Managerial tasks and responsibilities include business problem analysis, project planning, agile project organization, team leading, client/team communication. Technical tasks and responsibilities include Rails, iOS, and Javascript development or other technologies necessary for solving business problems and obstacles Smart Cloud clients meet. Solving many different technical challenges helped me grasp the big picture vision of software applications and systems. I became the architect level developer who picks the right tool/technology for the problem instead of fixating on one "hammer"​ or "a cool shiny thing". I pride myself in being extremely good at architecting systems and integrating server APIs with client apps. From January 2011 to August 2013 (2 years 8 months) San Francisco Bay AreaVolunteer developer @ I was volunteering at RubyNuby meetup classes in New York University. Was helping to teach students Ruby and Ruby on Rails. From September 2010 to January 2011 (5 months) Greater New York City Area
