About me

Custom-built
by hand, for years.

I design and implement software that solves specific, unglamorous problems — the kind that make a business run smoother without anyone noticing. Full-stack by craft, systems-minded by temperament.

More about my background →
2yrs+
Automation systems I’ve shipped that have been running continuously, with virtually zero maintenance, for two years or more.
Built to run, not to require me.

Got a system that needs building,
fixing, or automating?

Custom software, AI automation, cloud infrastructure, or just a careful pair of eyes on something that isn’t working — I’d like to hear about it.

Let’s talk

Got a vision?
Let’s bring it to life.

Whether it’s a legacy system that’s outlived its usefulness or something greenfield waiting to be shaped — I’d like to hear about it.
