About Me

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 20 years of experience using technology to solve problems, simplify systems, and improve everyday life. I've had a variety of roles in my career. I tend to gravitate towards Backend and Platform teams.
  • System Integration
  • SDET / Automated QA
  • Developer tooling / DevOps
  • Backend Development

Professional Summary

I design and build resilient backend systems that scale, integrating seamlessly across platforms and teams. With two decades of experience, I've led initiatives in automated QA, developer tooling, and system integration, with a focus on reliability, clarity, and long-term maintainability.

My work blends engineering rigor with curiosity. I prototype emerging technologies, refine workflows, and optimize developer experience. Whether I'm writing production code, mentoring teammates, or improving CI pipelines, I bring a systems mindset and a collaborative spirit to every project.

Approach & Values

Build Incrementally

I believe in iterative development—starting small, validating early, and refining continuously. Whether prototyping a new feature or scaling a service, I break down complexity into manageable pieces and deliver value with each commit.

Test with Intention

Test-Driven Development (TDD) is core to how I work. Writing tests first sharpens design, prevents regressions, and builds confidence across the team.

Automate Everything

I invest in CI/CD pipelines that make shipping software fast, safe, and repeatable. From linting and unit tests to deployment and monitoring.

Work Agile, Think Long-Term

I thrive in Agile environments that balance speed with sustainability. I collaborate closely with teammates to define clear goals, adapt to change, and keep momentum. At the same time, I advocate for thoughtful architecture and technical debt management.

Share & Learn Together

Pair programming, mentoring, and open communication are daily habits. I hate egos, silos, and imposter syndrome. I believe we all have our areas of expertise and that we can learn from each other.

Current Interests

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how it relates to Software Development.
  • Emerging AI capabilities and how companies can leverage them to improve products and services.
  • Backend web service development but also mixing in some Frontend too as I continue to learn.
  • Pair programming & Mentoring.

Outside the Office

  • Gaming: Roguelike deckbuilders, RPGs, Narrative action adventures, Puzzle Games
  • Sci-fi / fantasy and Cozy TV shows, films, and books
  • Nature walks and Tai Chi practice
