I make useful things
and keep learning.
Software developer, father, reader, and guitarist. A portfolio of the work, ideas, and people that keep me moving.
01 — Selected capabilities
Software developer.
I work across product, infrastructure, and intelligent systems. My sweet spot is turning complexity into clear, useful experiences.
Frontend & design
Interfaces that feel fast, deliberate, and easy to use — from first click to final detail.
Backend & infrastructure
Container-native systems with strong defaults, clear boundaries, and fewer surprises in production.
DevOps & automation
Repeatable delivery, useful tooling, and automation that protects attention instead of stealing it.
AI & agentic systems
Practical AI workflows that connect models to tools, context, and real outcomes.
02 — My Greatest Role
Father
Being a father reshaped everything — how I work, how I build, what I prioritize. It taught me patience (debugging a tantrum is harder than debugging code), the value of showing up every day, and that the most important legacy isn't in a repo — it's in the people you raise.
Every line of code I write, every system I design, every skill I learn — it's all building toward a future where my children see what it means to create, to care deeply about craft, and to never stop growing.
"The best thing I've ever built doesn't have a single line of code."
03 — What I Read
Reader
Books are my second brain. I read across genres — from speculative fiction that reimagines society to deep dives into software craft and human psychology. A few that left permanent marks:
Fiction & Ideas
Stories that bend reality and make you think differently about people, systems, and the future.
Dune · The Name of the Wind
Project Hail Mary · Neuromancer
Craft & Psychology
How the mind works, how systems function, and how to build things that last.
Atomic Habits · Deep Work
The Pragmatic Programmer · Thinking, Fast and Slow
Culture & History
Understanding where we come from to make sense of where we're going.
Sapiens · The Dawn of Everything
Homo Deus · Guns, Germs, and Steel
04 — What I Play
Guitarist
Six strings, infinite possibilities. I play acoustic and electric — fingerstyle, blues, rock, and whatever mood the day brings. Music is my reset button after a day of debugging.
Style & Influences
Fingerstyle arrangements, blues improvisation, classic rock riffs. I draw from players who make the guitar sing — from Mark Knopfler's touch to Tommy Emmanuel's energy.
Current Rotation
Working on fingerstyle arrangements of pop and folk songs, exploring open tunings, and constantly chasing that clean tone. Every song learned is a new phrase in a language without words.
