About
I build systems that stay understandable when the work gets complicated.
Fourteen years in, I am still drawn to engineering where constraints are real and the solution has to be precise.

What I build
I work on software where the constraints are real: memory budgets, latency targets, audit trails, regulated workflows, and teams that need to own the system after handover. The work moves between architecture and code across cloud platforms, low-latency trading systems, cross-platform mobile apps, serverless products, and editorial-grade web.
Current focus
The last two years have been about what changes when agents become first-class collaborators. That includes local-first AI provenance, tamper-proof audit reports, code-intelligence MCP tooling, on-device embeddings, hybrid retrieval, personal knowledge systems, and repo-level context written like a teammate's onboarding doc.
How I work
I care about systems that hold together. That usually means getting the shape right before the code gets clever: explicit contracts, understandable boundaries, fast feedback loops, and enough product judgment to know when not to build the impressive thing.
