I am a seasoned (>10 years experience) full-stack principal software engineer and software manager specializing in the backend, platform engineering, internal tools, and data engineering. In addition to strong programming and architectural skills, I'm a force multiplier for any team through the three T's -- teaching, talking, and tooling.

In the past, I've led teams of up to 12, managed interview pipelines, pioneered a number of no- and low-code solutions for all of the following -- stream processing, data model, query generation, form building, workflow systems, and front-end construction -- for a variety of industries, including those with strong regulatory requirements and complex business rules such as healthcare and fintech.

More recently, I've built a workflow engine for coordinating LLMs and other generative AI processes, and on top of this a platform for both minimizing hallucinations and working with documents that are far too large for existing context window outputs using a novel, patent-pending process.

I am also an improvisational pianist and distinguished poet.

I have extensive experience working for and running both startups and software consulting shops, which gives me a unique insight into speaking with customers, translating between engineering and other organizational departments, gathering requirements, and aligning stake-holders across departments. If any of the above seems like a match for you and your organization or project, don't hesitate to reach out.
