Software engineering, architecture & leadership.
I enjoy figuring out how things work—and how to make them work better. That includes software, systems, and the way teams solve problems.

Background
Engineering & leadership
I’ve worked as a software engineer, architect, engineering manager, and CTO. My background spans software, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems.
I enjoy shaping technical direction, collaborating with others, and working through challenging problems. I value clear decisions, practical solutions, and respect for other people’s expertise.
Current focus
Agentic systems & intelligent workflows
My current interest is agentic AI: connecting agents and tools to the engineering and business processes people already use.
What interests me most is making those workflows dependable: checking the results, understanding failures, and knowing when a person needs to step in.
