I'm a first-generation New Yorker who's been building things since college — starting with a small restaurant in Brooklyn, then getting into Bitcoin early with a payments startup in 2012 (too early, learned a lot).
That led me to Sabor, a restaurant POS that grew to 12,000+ restaurants in 80+ countries. After that chapter closed, I switched sides and spent years recruiting engineers — first at Reddit and other tech companies, then at the White House with USDS, helping federal agencies find technical talent.
Now I'm back to building. The government hiring process is broken — outdated job boards, confusing applications, and good candidates lost in the shuffle. I'm working on fixing that.
