Software engineer and researcher building maintainable systems.
I build production web platforms, backend systems, and applied computing projects. I describe my work through constraints, tradeoffs, and measurable outcomes.
8 years building web platforms for public services, SaaS products, and internal operations.
6+ teams across legal, education, media, open source, research, and operations.
Working Approach
I care about what remains after the first release — reliability, ownership, data integrity, access control, and a codebase a team can confidently evolve.
Most of my work sits between implementation and evaluation. I build systems, validate assumptions, document tradeoffs, and study how software performs under infrastructure, budget, and access constraints.
Principles
The habits I rely on when projects become ambiguous, long-running, or operationally expensive.
Start With Constraints
I begin by understanding the operating limits: data quality, team capacity, deployment, cost, access, and long-term maintenance.
Care About Details
Readable code, practical interfaces, and concise documentation determine who can keep improving the system later.
Build With The Team
Technical decisions are rarely isolated from people. I value clear ownership, explicit tradeoffs, and shared context.
Respect The Data
Access control, privacy, and auditability are product features, especially for legal, education, and internal systems.
Selected Roles
A few roles that shaped how I approach software engineering, operations, research, and long-lived systems.
Technologies
Tools behind production systems and research prototypes.
