About

I'm an independent problem solver — someone who can take a vague goal and hash out the details across multiple teams. If I need to lead, I step up. If there's someone sharper in the room, I'm here to learn from them.

I care about code that's easy to understand and fast to change. I prefer systems with clear ownership, good observability, and tests that actually catch bugs. I like working end-to-end — from product discussions through to production — and staying accountable for outcomes, not just outputs.

Mentoring and making teams more effective are high-value activities for me. I'm looking for the next opportunity that challenges me technically while giving me a platform to deliver real value.
