Product Engineer
I architect software that takes you from idea to production. Stable, scalable, and earning revenue.
I'm a product engineer. The short version: I figure out what to build and then I build it. UI, backend, the deploy step nobody wants to think about, all of it.
So far that's looked like indie film tooling, fintech, a couple of AI products, and a few consumer apps I actually still use. The domain changes a lot. The work itself less so. You own the build, you ship it, and you stick around long enough to deal with whatever it does in production.
Right now I'm taking on a few new projects a quarter. Usually embedded with a small team, sometimes owning a build start to finish. If you're early and need one person who can do the thinking and the typing, send a note.

There's a 1957 experiment that reframed how I think about hope. Not as a gift, but as the thing that makes you swim longer in the same jar.
