Architecture that creates options
Good architecture keeps change affordable, risk visible, and the business able to move without rewriting everything.

Architecture first.
Implementation matters.
I build reliable product and platform systems by connecting architectural judgment, AI-enabled engineering, and the business outcomes behind the work.
01
What I care about
AI with judgment
AI creates leverage when it shortens feedback loops, improves decisions, and earns trust in real workflows.
Business impact first
Technical choices matter because they shape speed, cost, risk, customer value, and the company’s capacity to grow.
02
Selected work
Across independent products and commercial systems, the pattern is consistent: understand the business problem, choose the simplest sound shape, and keep the implementation honest.
Longevity Budget
An evidence-aware decision tool for comparing routines against budget, time, complexity, and the quality of available evidence.
Napper
A shared baby sleep and wake-window tracker for two iPhones, with push reminders and an Apple Watch shortcut.
Tabletime
Filters a household game collection by players, total time, complexity, style, tags, and age.
RSS Filter
Turns noisy RSS and Atom feeds into clean subscriptions using private, per-feed exclusion rules.
Selected experience
A few businesses where I learned to connect systems, product decisions, and engineering teams.

A short list of books that shaped how I think about engineering, teams, focus, and building.
Engineering systems
The Phoenix Project
Delivery is a system, not a heroics contest.
Developer experience
The Unicorn Project
Locality, flow, simplicity, and the conditions for good work.
Engineering craft
The Pragmatic Programmer
A durable standard for clear code and sound trade-offs.
Teams

About
I stay close to the code. I think beyond it.
I’m a software engineer with 12+ years across product, platform, and delivery. I work from the business problem and architectural shape of a system down to the code that makes it real, with a growing focus on AI-enabled engineering.
I lead through technical judgment, clear communication, and useful systems that improve product outcomes and help teams do good work.
