I care about how things are built.

I break hard problems into manageable pieces, adapt fast and leave things in better shape than they were.

HedgeHunt

A platform for creating and solving real-world treasure hunts. Design hunts with GPS challenges, quizzes, and missions validated by AI, or generate full hunts from a prompt. Solve them on mobile with location, camera, and audio. Publish, iterate, roll back. Players never notice.

I care a lot about the work itself. I like building things, improving them, and seeing them used. I tend to do my best work in environments that are challenging but well run, where things move forward, tools make sense, and time is respected.

I'm comfortable working autonomously and taking ownership end to end. I enjoy collaborating, thinking out loud, and being direct when something feels off or could be better.

Teams matter to me more than titles or org charts. I try to think in terms of how this helps the team, whether that's unblocking someone, improving a process, or pushing a bit further to make something cleaner than initially planned. I'm often the person who finds time in a sprint to fix, simplify, or suggest an improvement, even when it wasn't explicitly asked for.

I've worked across fintech, media, telecom, education, cybersecurity, and consultancy. Different industries, same approach: understand the domain, dig into the codebase, and start delivering.
