> Yes, that’s my real name 🍀 | Founding engineer, hands-on, building from zero to scale

Location: Pittsburg, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/lucky

Founder-engineer and senior technology leader focused on building and scaling real systems under real constraints. Currently a Founding Software Engineer at BackOps, defining the product from first principles and owning architecture, automation strategy, and execution across customer-critical workflows. Operates on the field with the team—shipping, debugging, and making tradeoffs that move the business forward.

Previously a founding member and senior engineering leader at Stoovo, leading zero-to-one initiatives across geospatial intelligence, mapping, and data platforms. Shaped technical strategy, built and scaled core systems, and partnered closely with product and executive leadership to turn ambiguity into shipped outcomes. Work emphasized resilient platforms designed to evolve with company growth.

Earlier experience at Wells Fargo centered on enterprise-scale execution, leading initiatives impacting tens of millions of customers. As a Principal Software Engineer, owned critical systems, navigated high-stakes technical decisions, and aligned engineering execution with business objectives in highly regulated environments.

Across every role, the throughline is ownership. Hands-on when it matters, strategic when it counts, and deeply invested in mentoring engineers and building teams that execute independently. Most effective in environments where accountability, speed, and quality are non-negotiable.

Does everything lucky 🍀
