About
I'm a Senior Software Engineer in Dallas. Production cloud platforms for a decade: AWS, Azure, .NET, SQL, microservices that handle real money. I lead the team behind communityarchives.com at Associa. That site is the public company. The numbers are on the resume.
Off hours: OpenLoop is live on Google Play, Image Convert runs in the browser, and a private agent on Claude Code sits on a box in my office. The clickable ships come first.
what i obsess over
- Honesty over fluff.If a number isn't real, it doesn't go in the deck. If a feature is on, it's tested. No flags scaffolded as “safe rollback” —
git revertis the rollback tool. - Boring infrastructure.Most of an agent's reliability isn't prompt engineering — it's async-first I/O, durable rows before fire-and-forget, dual correlation IDs in every log line, OBSERVE-ONLY phases for new routers.
- Locality of behaviour.Code lives where it's read. Convention over configuration. The reader's ergonomics outweigh the writer's.
- Care as the objective function.A faster reply isn't a better reply. A shorter reply isn't a better reply. The right medium — text, voice, photo, video — is the better reply.

Dad to Mila (the heart project). Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu when the schedule allows. A long-running Tesla obsession that occasionally writes itself into the codebase. Intermediate Russian. Always packing for the next trip.
why i build
The systems we ship are the ones our kids will inherit. I want mine to inherit something honest, observable, and easy to read. That's the bar.
