Hi 👋🏻, welcome to my personal website! I’m Arach, a software engineer (4x startup CTO, 2x founder) currently hanging out in SF. When I’m not coding 👨🏻💻, you can find me 📚reading, 🏃🏻 running, 🏊🏻 swimming, or hooping 🏀.
Most recently, I worked at Facebook's NY HQ, leading engineering teams on exciting creator initiatives like Bulletin, a platform for independent long-form writers, and FB Creators Support, Education, and Production Infrastructure. Before that, I spent over a decade building startups from the ground up. One career highlight was co-founding Breathe Life, an InsurTech startup that developed a leading hybrid distribution model for life insurance carriers and agencies. We grew from inception to a mid-8-figure exit in just 4 years!
I've spent the last few months coding and it's been a blast to really accelerate with AI. If you're not building with AI yet, you should - so much fun! If you’re working on something cool or investing in innovative projects, I’d love to connect and collaborate 🚀.
