How I Get Things Done
I focus on engineering solutions that create real value. Not just functional code, but systems that move the needle. Whether it's a website, backend system, or automation, the goal is always the same: build something that makes a measurable difference.
My Approach
Start with the problem, not the solution
Before writing code, I ask: what does success actually look like? Understanding the real goal, not just the requested feature, is how small efforts create outsized results.
Simplicity is a feature
Most software is overbuilt. I look for the simplest solution that solves the problem completely. Fewer moving parts means fewer failures, faster iteration, and systems that actually get maintained.
Design is engineering
Good design isn't decoration. It's how something communicates and functions. I obsess over clarity, hierarchy, and the small details that make software feel calm and intentional to use.
Built to hold up
I think about what happens after launch: edge cases, failure modes, how it behaves at 2am when no one's watching. The goal is software that holds up without constant attention.
About Me
I'm an experienced software engineer with a master's degree in Computer Science from Georgia Tech, where I studied human-computer interaction, cybersecurity, and AI applications. My background spans medical technology, aerospace, and defense: reliability-focused embedded systems where edge cases aren't theoretical and "it mostly works" isn't good enough.
I work at every layer, from infrastructure to interfaces, but I care most about what people actually experience. Thoughtful engineering at the surface changes how something feels to use, and that's where most software falls short. Transparency is key. Success is usually invisible.
I like to believe most things are overbuilt. I'd rather streamline a feature than add complexity that doesn't earn its place. I'd rather something feel inevitable than impressive. The goal is always the same: something clear, reliable, and calm to use.
Engagement
I take on a limited number of projects at a time so I can move fast without cutting corners. This isn't a constraint. It's how I do good work. Each project gets proper attention rather than being one of many in a queue. I own the entire process, from planning through delivery.
If you're looking for someone you can trust with a software project, I'd be happy to discuss what you need. I value the people I build for as much as what I deliver. Good relationships tend to outlast any single project.
