Profile: https://flows.cv/zane

Senior software engineer with 6+ years building full‑stack products and infrastructure across fintech, SaaS, and consumer web. I’ve led 0 to 1 builds, shipped customer‑facing features at Coinbase, and built systems spanning Go/TypeScript/React/Elixir/Python with a focus on reliability, performance, and clean developer experience. I like owning outcomes end‑to‑end — from architecture to delivery — and I’m especially strong in fast‑moving environments where product and engineering are tightly coupled.
