Tech Lead at Fonzi

I build the systems behind AI-powered recruiting at Fonzi, where I lead engineering. I care about clean abstractions, fast feedback loops, and software that gets out of the way. Off the keyboard you'll find me on a long run or pulling on plastic at the climbing gym.

01

The board

A small obsession. I backed the Keychron K3 on Kickstarter and have been chasing the perfect typing feel ever since. Press a key - any key - and watch it light up.

// start typing - the board is live.

How I work

Ship the small thing

Tight loops over big rewrites. The fastest way to learn what to build is to put a real thing in front of real users.

Lead by unblocking

A tech lead's job is to make the rest of the team faster - clear context, sharp reviews, fewer surprises.

Readable beats clever

Code is read far more than it's written. I optimize for the engineer who shows up six months later.

Measure, then move

Profilers and dashboards before opinions. Most performance wins hide in the boring parts of the stack.

Off the clock

1:36half marathon

Brooklyn Half - chasing a faster split next spring.

V-gradebouldering

Most weeks on the wall - Kilter board sessions for the burn.

K3daily driver

Low-profile, hot-swap, and quietly perfect after a few mods.

Say hi

Working on something in recruiting, real-time systems, or developer tooling? I like comparing notes. The code lives on GitHub.
