Profile

Hands-on engineering manager and software engineer with 15+ years building software across AI infrastructure, maritime operations, healthcare, and travel. I lead teams and stay close to architecture, implementation, and delivery: making complex systems easier to understand, more reliable in production, and useful to the people who depend on them.
