About MeView Resume
Software, systems, and
technology leadership.
I write about software, AI tools, leadership, and the tradeoffs that show up when systems meet real people. This site is the personal archive for that work.

How I work.
I won't oversell.
If we have a 30-minute conversation and the answer is “you don't need me,” I'll say so. Most small businesses don't need an enterprise stack — they need someone honest about what they actually need.
Boring tools, on purpose.
I'll recommend the cheap, well-understood option over the impressive one. Most small businesses don't need an enterprise observability stack or a microservices architecture. Use boring tools until you actually need otherwise.
Real people, even with AI.
AI is a force multiplier, not a replacement for taste, judgment, or responsibility. I write about the boundary between automation and accountable human work.
