ABOUT ME
Lead Full-Stack Engineer with over 15+ years of experience
Lead Full-Stack Engineer with over 15+ years of experience

Hands-on CTO | Lead Software Engineer | 15+ years

I build products end to end and still write code most days. I'm the CTO at Hexis, a sports nutrition platform trusted by 40% of the professional peloton at the Tour de France and 50% of the Premier League. I joined as a senior engineer, rebuilt the core data model so multi-day queries went from several minutes to under 700ms (a key factor in closing a $2.1M seed round), moved the platform to GCP and drove our SOC 2 audit. In our CEO's words, I was instrumental in building a product that delivered a 300%+ increase in ARR and found product-market fit.

Through Toptal I've worked as a lead engineer and fractional CTO. For an AI startup in financial due diligence I built an agentic RAG platform that indexed 10M+ pages and scored 100% on the Vectara RAG benchmark. I led engineering on Fashion Nova's React Native app on the Shopify Storefront API, and owned HIPAA-compliant auth, payments and audit logging for a US healthcare company.

Earlier I led a team of nine at Verizon Media/RYOT on a 3D content tool used by the NFL, HuffPost and Yahoo. Before that I worked on ISSUU's backend, which served 100M+ users a month, and built the SDK and developer marketplace for Danske Bank's District platform.

What I work with: TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, React, Next.js, React Native, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, GCP, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Pulumi, Terraform, and LLM tooling like LangGraph, LangChain, LangSmith, OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini. I use AI coding agents every day.

Sachin was helpful until he saw that he needed to do some research to find a solution for me. Then he was respectful of my time and wrapped up to reconvene later. 5 stars, would recommend.

  • Joined as Senior Full Stack Engineer and progressed to CTO of a nutrition-technology platform for elite athletes and teams. I lead the engineering team and still write production code most days.
  • Helped build the product now trusted by 40% of the professional peloton at the Tour de France and 50% of the Premier League. In the CEO's words, instrumental in a 300%+ increase in ARR and finding product-market fit.
  • Re-architected the core Postgres data model (years of history per user, millions of rows per table) with co-located JSON storage and new query patterns, cutting multi-day queries from several minutes to under 700ms. That turnaround was a key factor in closing a $2.1M seed round.
  • Led the migration from Supabase to a GCP-native stack and drove the company's SOC 2 audit: audit logging, access controls and data protection.
  • Built CI/CD with multiple dev deploys a day, weekly production releases and same-hour hotfixes, with monitoring and rollback.
  • Run infrastructure as code with Pulumi on GCP: multi-region PostgreSQL with read replicas, Kafka streaming pipelines, Grafana dashboards and automated backups.
  • Build backend services in TypeScript and Node.js (GraphQL, Prisma) and a Python calculation engine, integrating wearables like Apple Health and Whoop.

  • Led a team of nine engineers (5 backend, 3 frontend, 1 platform) across time zones, with regular pairing and code reviews, building a web-based 3D modeling tool for content creators at the NFL, HuffPost and Yahoo.
  • Designed the backend from scratch as microservices on AWS: Lambda for stateless APIs, Kubernetes (EKS) for long-running processing, and event-driven queues between services instead of cascading synchronous calls.
  • Built a server-side pipeline running Blender headless that turned huge creator files into optimized 3D assets for every platform with no human in the loop.
  • Developed a way to keep multiple databases in sync using streams.
  • Wrote GraphQL microservices in TypeScript and Go with published docs, and kept synchronous responses under 300ms.
  • Kept 70%+ test coverage (Jest, Vitest, K6, Cypress) and built a Docker dev environment that cut onboarding from weeks to days.
