I build agentic engineering systems — code review pipelines, plugin marketplaces, and the scaffolding that makes teams move faster without losing control. I mentor engineers and level up the people around me.

Experience
From medicine to music to software.
The medicine chapter was about learning how to help people well. Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic's Lerner College of Medicine gave that a rigorous foundation: understand the problem fully before acting, and know that getting it wrong has real consequences for real people.
Co-founding Deadiron, a melodic thrash metal band, added something different — the experience of building something creative with a group of people where everyone has to be fully invested for it to work. A band that's clicking is a good model for what a high-functioning team looks like.
Software turned out to be where both of those things fit — the problems are technical, but the work is still about helping people and building things together. That became the foundation for a decade of engineering across finance, HR tech, and health credentialing automation.
That experience runs through a consistent pattern: modernizing solutions, building collaborative teams, and leveling up organizations with cutting-edge engineering practices so that every member can contribute and grow.
