I'm a team lead and senior full-stack engineer, ten-plus years deep, with a path that started in QA, moved through product engineering, and now sits somewhere in the middle of leadership and code. I still write a lot of it.
I lead a small remote team building a SaaS eCommerce platform — React, TypeScript, Go, Node, a little Java, BigQuery, Mongo, Postgres. The stack rotates; the job mostly doesn't. The job is taking a vague, slightly-wrong request from a real human and turning it into something shippable that actually solves the problem they meant, not the one they typed.
I like ambiguous problems, small teams, and the unglamorous half of software: the parts where you read a ticket five times, sketch on paper, and realize the original ask was a faster horse.
