What I'm Looking For

The Work

Data-heavy problems — Spatial data, scale challenges, complex queries, messy real-world data
Ambiguity welcome — Vague requirements that need shaping into working systems
Greenfield and rescue missions — Building from scratch or fixing what's broken; both are satisfying
End-to-end ownership — Problem to production, the whole arc. Not a slice, not a handoff
Hands-on, the hard parts — I stay in the codebase. Architecture without keystrokes isn't for me
Impact over tickets — Solving problems that matter, not just closing JIRAs

Remote-first — Async collaboration, flexible hours, results over presence
Real autonomy — Small teams, or bigger teams with real autonomy. I do best when I can own outcomes without layers of permission
Ownership with trust — Give me the problem, the context, and the stakes, and I'll drive it end to end
Bias toward action — Fast-moving, minimal ceremony
Engineering as investment — Companies where engineering drives value, not just supports it

Hands-on leadership — I like mentoring and fostering strong engineers by building alongside them, not drifting into pure management
Leverage through example — I raise the bar, unblock people, and help a team do better work while still doing the hard technical parts myself
Trust over titles — High-trust teams that ship; no theater, no hand-holding
