Profile

18+ years building systems for companies where one mistake can cost millions.

I've worked with teams in 6 countries, on-site and remote.

Today I run projects, gather the details with the client, design and build the architecture, lead the people, and make AI work well in production.

Principles, Practices and Technologies

Tools change every year; they can be learned and taught. What can't be taught is the judgment that comes with experience: knowing what to use, when and why, and how to take it to production with professional processes.
