About

Built at the intersection of engineering, delivery, and creative problem solving.

Technical leader and full-stack developer with 16+ years building and scaling digital systems — from web infrastructure to AI-powered tools.

Over the last decade and a half, that has meant architecture decisions, enterprise site builds, infrastructure hardening, integration strategy, and more recently AI-assisted systems that solve real workflow problems.
