I’m a software engineer with over a decade of experience across a variety of domains and technologies. I can design and implement nearly every aspect of modern software systems, including web, mobile, and sdk clients, cloud-native and distributed systems, CI/CD orchestrators, big data processing pipelines, public and private APIs, automated testing suites, and developer tools.
For the stakeholder/owner/operator:
But you don’t really care about that, I imagine. You want to run a more efficient business– to uncover new opportunities, and to leverage your unique competitive advantages. That’s where I specialize, software as a means to an end. I work closely with stakeholders to deeply understand your business and identify areas where technology can provide powerful tools for efficiency and growth.
For the engineer looking for help:
You want to hire a solid engineer, with a proven track record, who can help you solve difficult problems. Ideally this engineer can design solutions that meet the demands of the business today, while considering the ever-evolving needs of the system tomorrow. It would be great if this person also seeks to understand the business, not just the software, so they can become an asset in stakeholder discussions and help define the future of the company. Oh, and hopefully you can find someone who is pleasant to work with– constructive, instructive, open to feedback, and fun.
