About

I help companies improve business-critical applications and the processes around them. My experience spans legacy application modernization, backend and full-stack engineering, API development, enterprise integrations, cloud systems, data platforms, and technical leadership.

Over the years, I've worked across diverse industries in both small companies and large organizations. Most recently, I served as a Technical Lead at S&P Global, a Fortune 500 company, leading the development of enterprise software and data solutions on AWS.

I incorporate AI-assisted development into my engineering workflow to support analysis, implementation, documentation, and spec-driven development while keeping engineering judgment and code review at the center.

Why Work With Me

Direct Access to a Senior Engineer

You work directly with the engineer doing the work, not an account manager or a junior team.

Nearly 20 Years of Experience

Hands-on software engineering across legacy and modern systems in a wide range of industries.

Hands-On Through Implementation

I stay involved beyond recommendations and help put improvements into practice with your team.

Technical + Product Thinking

I consider both how software is built and how it should work for its users and the business.

Start Small, Scale If It Works

Focused projects get the same attention as larger ones, with no commitment to a bigger engagement up front.

Your Budget Goes to Engineering

No management layers or large-firm overhead, just the work itself.

My Approach

I focus on practical, maintainable solutions that solve real business problems. I take the time to understand your goals, constraints, and existing systems, then design and implement improvements that deliver measurable value.

I believe in iterative progress over big-bang rewrites, clear communication, and building solutions your team can successfully maintain and evolve.
