Hands-on engineering leader with 14 years building products, infrastructure, and teams, from indie apps with 10M+ users to a production real-time GenAI platform.
Most recently Director of Engineering at Journee, where I scaled the team to 25 and ran a multi-cloud, multi-geo GPU platform (3,000+ concurrent nodes behind a custom cost-aware autoscaler), a low-level WebRTC backend for interactive 1080p/60fps streaming that beat Unreal's PixelStreaming on latency and bandwidth, and the web apps and APIs on top. I also owned cloud FinOps (six-figure annual savings), enterprise security and GRC for automotive and public-sector clients, and represented the tech org in investor relations.
I'm useful when product goals, infrastructure, and team structure are out of sync: getting a real-time or AI system to hold up in production, cutting cloud spend, tightening developer experience, and helping a team ship without piling on process. I trained as a designer (ECAL) before going deep on engineering, so I care as much about the UI/UX as the GPU autoscaler, and I bridge product, design, and infra without overengineering.
Looking for: fractional or full-time CTO / Head of Engineering, or technical advisory work.
Best fit: startups and scale-ups building AI-powered or real-time products that need one senior person to set technical direction and stay hands-on in the code.
It's most likely two or more separate attackers operating. The first malware, Shai Hulud 2, exfiltrates credentials from the infected dev machine to new public GitHub repositories. As the repositories are public and searchable via GitHub's interfaces, any malicious attacker aware of the attack can easily grab the credentials and launch any attack, whether it's a noisy destructive script or some sophisticated ransomware.
Remote: Yes, within Europe; on-site around Geneva
Willing to relocate: No, but happy to travel
Technologies: TypeScript, Node.js, Nest.js, React, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS (CDK / IaC), WebRTC, real-time streaming, GPU autoscaling, LLM inference & voice agents, Swift, Kotlin, Unreal Engine, Unity3D, Firebase, CI/CD
