I build backend systems and developer tooling that create leverage.

Professionally: backend systems, cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and developer tooling. Personally: an application developer who enjoys building leverage.

I still enjoy dropping into unfamiliar codebases, building small studies in miniature, and leaving systems a little easier to work in than I found them.

Currently building:

Seevee: an agent-driven resume workbench that treats a career as a conversation instead of a document.

Timerbox: a cross-platform Gio desktop timer inspired by the workflow I've relied on for years.
