THE INVENTOR’S WORKBENCH

Every part.
A purpose.

Good software is a system of small things working together. Pull this one apart.

One product. Interface, services, and data working as one.

01 / Interface02 / Services03 / Data

SELECTED WORK

Built with intent.

Production systems. Open-source tools.
A few of the problems I’ve made my own.

Hunch

Giving AI agents a memory worth keeping.

  • TypeScript
  • MCP
  • Git

Soldi

From the database to the people in the field.

  • Angular
  • Node.js / Express
  • Azure SQL
  • Flutter

Coding Orchestrator

The right agent. The right task. Evidence attached.

  • Python
  • Shell
  • Claude Code
  • Codex

Local Whisper Transcriber

Your voice, transcribed on your own machine.

  • React
  • Python
  • faster-whisper

A feel for the front end.

A few interface explorations, too.

THE SYSTEMS ARCHITECT

Making the invisible
work beautifully.

An imagined workshop. A very real way of thinking. AI imagery, directed from my portrait.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE PULL REQUEST

I connect
the dots.

Between the product and the platform.
The big picture and the tiny detail.
The team and the thing we’re building.

I came through QA, customer support, and project management before moving into engineering. That path still shapes how I build: understand the problem, question the assumptions, and own the outcome.

Today I lead technical direction at YLM Solutions. Outside work, I build open-source tools and explore what AI can do when the engineering around it is solid.

Meet me in the code

DEPTH, IN MORE THAN ONE DIRECTION

The part that has to work when nobody is watching.

APIs, multi-tenant systems, background workers, and the data models underneath them. From SQL query tuning to the last notification arriving.

  • Node.js
  • Express
  • Fastify
  • Python
  • SQL Server
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis

THE PATH HERE

More perspective.
Better software.
