I build software and lead engineering teams. A lot of my work starts with figuring out why something is stuck. Sometimes a team is waiting for another team’s API. Sometimes people are copying the same information between spreadsheets and tools because nothing connects.
I help work out what needs to happen and stay involved through implementation. I’ve done this as an engineering manager and working directly with businesses. I also build tools for myself, some of which you’ll find here.
I’m helping a small insurance broker connect its systems and build software for its customers and partners. My work runs from figuring out what people need to making technical decisions and coordinating delivery.
The website, CRM, communication tools and management reporting are running. The customer and partner products are still at different stages of development.
I managed four frontend engineers working on a migration out of a PHP monolith. Some APIs were still being built; one had no owning team. I worked on those dependencies, the team’s delivery practices and people development.
Two direct reports progressed to the next grade. The new frontend did not reach production during my tenure.
Four direct reports.
The Principal Engineer led platform architecture.
Before committing to a page, I checked who owned its data and when QA and SEO could review it. Where feasible, we agreed an early contract, used fixtures or planned a legacy data path. Some dependencies stayed unresolved.
Tools I build for myself, on infrastructure I run.
explore the systems →I’m testing a workflow for agents to research, build and check software.
A person decides what moves forward.
see how it works →I’m open to engineering management or hands-on technical roles. I also take on selected independent projects and would like to meet people interested in building something together.
I can join as an engineering manager or in a hands-on technical role. My experience includes helping a team ship when its work depends on other teams, unfinished APIs and an existing system that still needs to run.
Talk about a role →If your business runs on tools that barely talk to each other, I can help work out what needs to change and build the software to connect them. That includes understanding how people do the work today.
Discuss a project →If you know a problem well and want to build a product around it, I’d be interested in talking. We could work out what a first version needs to do and build from there.
