About
I've been writing code professionally for over a decade. I've designed distributed systems, built event-driven platforms, led engineering teams, and shipped AI integrations into production.
I work with companies at inflection points when the architecture that got you here won't get you there. My focus is pragmatic decisions that reduce risk and preserve momentum.
Based in Vancouver. Available for senior contract engagements where engineering quality and delivery pace both matter.
