Baton Rouge · LA

I build the systems companies actually run on.

Principal Engineer and Senior Solutions Architect. I spent years as an Engineering Manager, and a long stretch as a team lead before that. I take a problem from the first sketch through production — Rails and Node platforms, mobile apps, and large-scale SOA and microservices across AWS, Azure, GCP, other clouds like Linode, Rackspace, and Cloudflare, and bare metal — the operational software that keeps businesses running efficiently.
