Former staff eng/tech lead at HackerOne. Left to work on my own businesses full-time.

Looking for contract/project opportunities, preferably for full-stack product engineering roles. Have lots of experience in traditional SaaS product engineering, and have been doing a lot of work on SEO (specially pSEO) lately.


This part of the article resonated with me, as I used to work as a tech lead for a very similar startup to Gitlab. We were always pushed to "ship MVP's" and "move fast and break things" by product and design, which always resulted in a half-broken features getting pushed to production and left there once the sprint was over. This also led to a constant inexorable growth of tech debt, that made me feel like we'd never be able to get things remotely stable in our corner of the product. I've since come to the conclusion that it's much better to build small, flexible, feature-complete systems that can be used for multiple iterations of ideas.
