Professional Background
Open-source engineering today, built on a decade of entrepreneurship, technical support and customer service.
Open-Source Contributor — Open Mercato
45 merged pull requests (10th of 143 contributors by merged PRs), mostly security and correctness fixes: authentication and sessions, tenant scoping, webhooks, payment gateways, AI-agent safeguards, forms and portal access, and undo/redo integrity. Fixes ship with regression tests and upgrade notes, delivered through an agent pipeline I designed on Cezar and Claude Code — spec templates, an independent quality gate, browser self-QA and automated review loops.
Founder & Software Business Operator
Built, maintained, licensed, marketed, distributed, and supported commercial Windows automation products for an international online gaming community, while managing customer relationships, website systems, payment workflows, community support, product planning, and day-to-day business operations.
