Success story
As technology lead for EchoLabs, a geospatial analytics startup, I built their entire technology function from zero. Designed and delivered EchoView, a web platform with interactive mapping, dashboards, and admin tools, plus hybrid cloud infrastructure and an end-to-end data pipeline that cut client delivery from weeks to under 48 hours. No existing team, no inherited stack. I scoped the architecture, wrote the code, deployed the infrastructure, and delivered directly to their clients.
