Approach
How I think about engineering.
Software delivery fails in predictable ways — unclear ownership, shallow technical decisions, and teams that optimize for activity over outcomes.
Principles
Full-stack ownership
I don't draw boundaries at the edge of a service or a layer of the stack. When I take on a problem, I own it end to end — from the database schema to the deployment pipeline to the user-facing experience.
Engineering rigor as a default
Test-driven development, code review, documentation, and observability aren't nice-to-haves I layer on when there's time. They're how I work from day one. Shipping fast and shipping well require each other.
AI-augmented, human-led
I use AI tooling aggressively — for code generation, architecture exploration, documentation, and testing. But every decision is made by an experienced engineer who understands the tradeoffs.
Outcomes over hours
I don't sell time. I sell engineering outcomes: features shipped, systems stabilized, teams unblocked, architecture simplified. Engagements are structured around what gets delivered.
Engagements
Embedded Engineering
I join your team for a defined period and operate as a senior engineering contributor or technical lead within your existing workflow.
Architecture & Advisory
Shorter engagements focused on technical decision-making: stack selection, infrastructure design, platform migration planning, or delivery process assessment.
Delivery Partnership
End-to-end ownership of a workstream or feature set, from scoping through production. I bring my own tools and practices and deliver working software.
