Senior engineer, 6 years. I mostly get hired for these things: rebuilding systems nobody wants to touch, and making AI-assisted development safe enough to actually ship.
Also, I'm pretty funny.
Recent work:
- Zero-downtime migration engine off a 10-year-old document store. 206,011 users moved, DB cost went from $1,600/mo to $80/mo.
- Risk-tiered review pipeline with an AI reviewer holding merge authority; the team, including a non-engineer cofounder, shipped 600+ PRs through it.
- CPQ/pricing platform for a manufacturer: pricing engine, configuration resolver, CAD/ERP integration, led two engineers.
Available immediately, contract or full-time.

Looking for first or only PM at a US marketplace, B2B commerce, or payments company, pre-seed to Series B. Full-time, or fractional if you need two days a week instead of five. Either a contractor invoice or an EOR works, whichever is easier on your side. No visa, no sponsorship, no relocation to plan.
Fractional is not theoretical for me. I ran growth at Vestaboard on US hours for five years alongside full-time roles, zero to $11M annual revenue on a DTC hardware brand.
Nine years, six countries. Now founding PM at Partao, Europe's largest B2B marketplace for agricultural and construction parts, transaction volume up 120% QoQ. Before that I built Alerzoshop in Nigeria from zero to $160M GMV and 180K+ MAU, including embedded stock financing underwritten against retailers' own wallet history. First PM at souKare in Dubai, 180 customers to 57,000+.
I do the GTM engineering myself. Feed pipelines, event tracking, KYC and payment integrations, internal tools in Retool and n8n.
I also killed a product I built. Veedez Pro hit $55K MRR and 4,500 DAU in nine months and I shut it down, because single owner retailers cannot run back office admin while serving a physical counter.

I build and repair small business systems and automations. Recent work includes HubSpot support-ticket classification and data enrichment, candidate onboarding and shift-coverage automation with FastAPI, Twilio and ElevenLabs, and PDF-to-Excel transaction extraction with balance reconciliation.
Available for short fixed-scope freelance work or contract work. For a first project, I am happy to agree on a small deliverable and acceptance checks, then take payment after acceptance.

Trustworthy output from untrustworthy data. I build systems that catch what's silently wrong — a dead sensor nobody noticed, contradictory records, a garbled scan, a confidently-wrong model — so it surfaces as a flag today, not a six-month catastrophe.
I use LLMs where they earn their place (development, meaning, embeddings, plain-language access to jargon-locked data) and keep them out of decisions and the data flow, which stay deterministic and verifiable. An LLM can help you find the answer; it can't be the answer.
Senior systems engineer, multiple AI cycles of judgment on what survives the hype and where it breaks. Currently turning messy Polish legal PDFs into a correctness-checked graph — the hard part is the verification, not the AI. Previously I built a legislative-notification service that ran autonomously in production for over three years before I retired it. I've written about where AI coding agents actually fail and why verification is the real work: https://walat.eu
Best fit when: correctness matters, the data is real-world-messy, and you want someone who names what doesn't work and why.
