About

I build high-reliability software systems where correctness, scale, and real-world constraints matter. I've been doing that professionally for 7 years, with more than 20 years of IT experience overall. I've worked with large enterprises like E. & J. Gallo Winery and startups like Martial Arts Technologies and Text2Drive.

Growing up in the Chicago area, my family ran one of the largest Camaro parts suppliers in the US, an early lesson in how technology and business intersect. That mindset stuck.

I joined Tempus AI as an individual contributor and earned my way into the most urgent and challenging work the team had. Since then I've shipped 800+ pull requests across 28 repositories, owned 13 epics end-to-end, and led the consolidation of multiple ordering intake mechanisms into a configurable microfrontend component system.

I bring an indispensable combination: deep engineering expertise, product thinking, and design intuition. Most engineers implement a spec. I can architect from scratch, and I can sit in a requirements conversation and simultaneously spot the UX edge case, the data model implication, and the downstream API impact.

Outside of work: guitar, drums, ESL volunteering, and time with my family and pets.
