About

Sancho Studio helps startups nail production ready software that scales the first time around. I specialize in software architecture, backend engineering, and computer security / applied cryptography. I founded Sancho Studio to deliver senior-only engineering talent that builds production-ready products for teams. Sancho partners with VC-backed startups to establish their engineering foundations. Previously, I built end-to-end encrypted video calling at Zoom and developed cryptography tools at Keybase. You'll find me outdoors, racing bicycles, or chasing ultra-endurance PRs.
