Software engineer • builder • traveler

Engineering thoughtful software while living a curious, human life.

I build reliable systems, learn from the road, and collaborate with people and organizations doing meaningful work.

Code that doesn't keep you up at night

Clean architecture, sensible defaults, and shipping without the 2am heroics. I'm into boring-in-the-best-way systems.

Less duct tape. More sleep.

Life & travel

Where the wifi is (and isn't)

Travel isn't a sidebar, it's how I learn. Different places, different users, same obsession with clarity and good coffee.

One bag. Many time zones.

Community

Mentorship without the corporate bingo

Workshops, hackathon mentoring, and actually replying to DMs. All free. I do it to help others, not as a gig.

Growing people, not headcount.

Human narratives

Lessons from places, people, and projects. Travel and stories, same focus on clarity.

People first

Free guidance for builders and communities. Not a side gig.

Impact partnerships

Supporting teams that build real-world change with engineering.

Code that holds up

Sensible systems. Fewer 2am fixes, more sleep.

Community

Workshops, hackathons, and actually replying to DMs.

Where the wifi is

Travel as part of the work. Different places, same focus on clarity and good coffee.
