02 / About

I build software
for systems that
have to keep working.

I'm a curious engineer and a careful problem-solver. I take pride in software that holds up under load, fails gracefully, and behaves the way it says it will. I sleep well at night because the things I ship do their job — and that, to me, is the whole point.
