Full-stack architect, technical strategist, and the engineer other engineers call when it has to be right.

Precision engineering,
not assembly-line code

Every project is an opportunity to raise the bar. Here's where I focus.

01

Zero-to-One Products

Taking an idea from napkin to production. Architecture, stack selection, and shipping the first version that actually works.

02

Systems Architecture

Designing distributed systems that scale without blowing up — or blowing budgets. Event-driven, message-passing, the real stuff.

03

Technical Turnarounds

Dropping into struggling projects and making them solid. Refactoring the unfactorable. Paying down tech debt that's accruing interest.

04

Team & Process

Setting up engineering cultures that ship fast and sleep well. CI/CD, code review norms, and actually-useful standups.

05

Fractional CTO

Technical leadership without the full-time overhead. Roadmap, hiring, architecture decisions — on demand, on point.

06

Performance & Scale

Profiling, bottleneck hunting, and making slow things fast. Database queries, bundle sizes, infra — nothing escapes the scalpel.

Not your average dev

I'm the person teams bring in when "good enough" isn't. My approach blends deep technical craft with an obsession for clean, maintainable systems.

I don't do résumé-driven development. No chasing shiny frameworks. Just the right tool for the job, the discipline to use it well, and the communication skills to bring everyone along.

Got something worth building?

I take on a few projects at a time. If you care about craft as much as outcomes,
we'll get along.
