Experience

2022-01 – Present

Founder & Engineering Lead

Nysteria

  • ·Built AI-powered hiring network (HireMesh) from zero to production in 3 months
  • ·Designed A2A protocol enabling recruiter agents to query candidate agents autonomously
  • ·Shipped full Next.js + Supabase stack solo; zero infrastructure outages in first 6 months

Situation

Founded Nysteria to solve the hiring inefficiency problem — recruiters spending hours screening candidates that don't fit, while qualified candidates get lost in ATS black holes.

Approach

Built HireMesh as an A2A (Agent-to-Agent) hiring network where AI agents represent candidates and autonomously handle fit assessments. Designed the full stack solo: Next.js 16, Supabase, Vercel AI SDK with Gemini.

Impact

Shipped from zero to production in 3 months. Zero infrastructure outages in first 6 months. A2A protocol enables recruiter agents to query candidate agents autonomously — no human bottleneck.

Senior Engineering Manager

Andela

  • ·Led 4 distributed engineering teams across 3 time zones (40+ engineers)
  • ·Introduced SAFe Agile framework — reduced release cycle from 6 weeks to 2 weeks
  • ·Drove 30% improvement in engineering throughput via flow metrics and constraint elimination

Situation

Andela was scaling rapidly — engineering grew from 20 to 200+ engineers across 3 time zones. Needed to maintain velocity and quality while onboarding at scale.

Approach

Led 4 distributed engineering teams (40+ engineers). Introduced SAFe Agile framework to bring structure without bureaucracy. Established flow metrics and constraint elimination as core practices.

Impact

Reduced release cycle from 6 weeks to 2 weeks. Drove 30% improvement in engineering throughput via flow metrics. Built a culture of continuous improvement that survived leadership changes.

Engineering Team Lead

Interswitch

  • ·Led fintech payments infrastructure team handling 2M+ transactions/day
  • ·Migrated monolith to microservices — reduced deployment risk and increased release frequency 4x
  • ·Mentored 8 junior engineers; 6 promoted to senior roles within 2 years

Situation

PayU (fintech) was struggling with compliance-heavy release processes that slowed feature delivery to a crawl.

Approach

Coached engineering teams on lean delivery practices. Introduced automated compliance checks into CI/CD pipeline so compliance happened automatically, not as a manual gate.

Impact

Compliance review time dropped from 2 weeks to 2 days. Feature velocity increased without increasing compliance risk.

Skills & Self-Assessment

Strong

— can teach this
  • Agile Coaching

    10+ years running agile transformations across enterprise and startup contexts. SAFe Agilist and PSM II certified. Reduced Andela's release cycle from 6 weeks to 2 weeks by introducing flow metrics and WIP limits.

  • Engineering Leadership

    Led teams from 4 to 40+ engineers across fintech, health-tech, and SaaS. Built Nysteria solo from zero to production. Known for shipping with high autonomy and low ceremony.

  • TypeScript / Next.js

    Sole engineer on HireMesh — full Next.js 16 App Router, Supabase, Tailwind v4, Vercel AI SDK. Production since March 2026. Previous React work at Andela and multiple client projects.

Moderate

— competent, not expert
  • Systems Design

    Designed A2A protocol and microservices migration at Interswitch. Comfortable with distributed systems tradeoffs and event-driven patterns.

    Gap: Limited experience with large-scale distributed systems (>10M req/day). Strong at startup-scale; growing at enterprise-scale.

  • Product Strategy

    Define product roadmaps as founder — from market hypothesis to shipping. Good at ruthless prioritization and saying no.

    Gap: No formal product management background. Intuition-driven rather than framework-driven on product decisions.

Gaps

— honest about these
  • ML / AI Engineering

    Built with AI APIs and SDKs but never trained or fine-tuned a model. Comfortable at the application layer, not the model layer.

    Closing it: Completing fast.ai practical deep learning course. Building a small fine-tuned model for HireMesh interview quality scoring.

  • Enterprise Sales

    All sales experience is founder-led, direct, and relationship-based. No formal enterprise sales cycle experience (procurement, legal, security reviews).

    Closing it: Partnering with a sales-experienced co-founder for Nysteria's enterprise push. Shadowing their process to build pattern recognition.

Certifications

  • SAFe Agilist (SA)
  • Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II)
  • AWS Cloud Practitioner
