Principal Rails Architect · Technical Advisor · Founder

I build durable software, infrastructure, and teams.

I help ambitious product teams turn complex codebases into calm, maintainable systems backed by solid infrastructure and pragmatic engineering habits.

Available for fractional CTO advisory, architecture audits, and technical partnerships.

What I bring

Clarity from the first decision to the last deploy.

I work across product, engineering, and the operating systems that help good teams do their best work.

01 / Product

Shape the right thing

Find the smallest useful version, make trade-offs visible, and create a path from idea to momentum.

02 / Engineering & Infra

Build it to last

Ruby on Rails architecture, robust Linux/Kubernetes infrastructure, and practical delivery practices for systems that stay calm under load.

03 / Teams & Systems

Make the system better

Grow engineering habits, feedback loops, and leadership that keep a team moving without burning out.
