What I Do illustration placeholder

I build software, lead technical initiatives, and help teams solve complex problems. Over the last two decades I've worked across startups and global organizations, designing systems that scale while helping people work together more effectively. Whether the challenge is technical, organizational, or somewhere in between, I enjoy bringing structure to complexity and turning ideas into reality.

Build Software

I design and develop software across web, mobile, desktop, and backend systems. I've worked on products ranging from startup prototypes to platforms serving millions of users.

Lead Technical Projects

I've led engineering efforts at startups and large organizations, helping teams navigate technical complexity while maintaining momentum and product quality.

Modernize Legacy Systems

Many of my favorite projects involve understanding existing systems and helping them evolve without losing the value they've already accumulated.

Solve Complex Problems

I enjoy tackling ambiguous challenges, researching unfamiliar domains, and finding practical solutions to difficult technical and organizational issues.

Organize Teams and Processes

Technology is only part of the equation. I enjoy helping teams improve communication, planning, knowledge sharing, and engineering practices.
