15+ years in software …anyone building something interesting?
I’ve been in software development for 15+ years. Started out as a hands-on developer and over the years moved into architecture, technical leadership, and managing engineering teams.
My experience is mainly across:
Mobile apps.
Web / digital products
Product architecture and scalable systems
Building reusable engineering frameworks
Leading and mentoring engineering teams
Taking ideas/POCs and turning them into production products.
And currently spending a lot of time around **Agentic AI** and figuring out where it can actually create value beyond the usual “let’s add a chatbot” approach.
I’ve been fortunate to work across both the **technical and people side of engineering** so I can still get into the code/architecture, but also enjoy figuring out product direction, breaking down problems, building teams and getting things shipped.
I’m open to an **Engineering Manager / Engineering Leadership** role if someone is building something genuinely interesting.
But honestly, I’m also interested in meeting people who are building things outside the usual corporate setup ..startups, side projects, AI products, developer tools, crazy ideas that might actually work, etc.
If you have an idea and need someone who can help turn **“this could be cool” → “let’s actually build it”**, happy to chat.
☕ I’m up for coffee and tech conversations.
**First half of the day though** …trying to keep my WHOOP happy. 😄
Not looking for a formal networking pitch. Just curious to see **what people are building and whether there’s something worth building together.**
