About

Engineer, builder, and problem solver.

I’ve worked on high-scale enterprise systems, independent SaaS-style software, creative technical projects, and games. I care about clean architecture, practical interfaces, stable systems, and software that people can actually use.

Outside of software, I build and repair things, work on a small homestead, play bass, make art in many mediums, and perform with various groups.
