Product & Platform Engineering

The art of the build is a product-first philosophy.

I believe that great engineering isn't just about efficiency; it's about empowering people to create something real. At PixelOven, technology is never built in a vacuum—it is the foundation for meaningful product experiences.

From architecting containerized workflows to exploring new frontiers in digital media, my goal is to build tools and platforms that feel like a natural, invisible extension of the creative process.

Personal Statement

"I view engineering as a form of modern craftsmanship. Whether I'm designing a complex Identity (IAM) system for millions of users or optimizing a local Kubernetes cluster in my homelab, the objective remains the same: precision in the service of purpose."

"My passion lies at the intersection of the digital and the physical—where containerized infrastructure meets creative expression. I believe that the most powerful tools are the ones that disappear, allowing the creator to focus entirely on the 'art' of their own build."

The Background

15+ Years of Systems & Scale

With over 15 years of experience building and leading platform services, I bridge the gap between deep technical infrastructure and measurable business outcomes.

My expertise spans the full stack, with a deep focus on experimentation, behavioral detection, and content moderation. I lead product transformations by treating infrastructure as a first-class product, ensuring that deployment strategies and tooling serve the larger goal of product growth.

Leverage the Experience

I am open to consulting opportunities where I can apply my background in platform architecture and product strategy. If you need to drive a new product from concept to scale—or optimize the infrastructure that supports it—let's build it together.
