Achievements
Builder. Leader. Systems whisperer. With 25+ years of engineering experience, I've architected and led the development of always-on, high-availability platforms for Fortune 500s, startups, and mission-driven orgs—because users don’t schedule their needs around your maintenance window.
As a “player-coach,” I thrive in roles where I can mentor engineers, write code, and guide teams building the core infrastructure others depend on. My background spans SaaS architecture, AWS, DevOps, and developer tooling that accelerates delivery without sacrificing reliability.
Most recently, I've been designing “smart enough” systems that blend generative AI with old-school text parsing and automation—adding intelligence without runaway complexity or cost.
