Building things worth using.
I build full-service web applications — SaaS platforms, business tools, and internal systems — with an obsessive attention to correctness and craft. 4+ years, thirty-something products, one consistent answer to is it done?
What I build.
Three flavors of the same job: take a complicated business problem, model it correctly, and ship the smallest thing that actually solves it.
SaaS Platforms
Multi-tenant applications with billing, onboarding, and feature gating. Built to scale from day one — without architecting yourself into a corner.
Business Tools
Custom admin panels, inventory systems, and workflow automation that replace the SaaS tools companies outgrow. The ones nobody else wants to build.
DevOps & APIs
Internal tooling, monitoring dashboards, and API integrations that tie systems together and keep everything running while you sleep.
How I work.
Shipping fast is table stakes. What separates good software from great is what happens before the first commit and after the last deploy.
Understand the problem deeply before writing a line of code.
Most of what people call "engineering" is really translation: from a vague business worry into a model that's small, precise, and complete. I spend more time in plain English than most engineers — and it saves months downstream.
Ship working software, not future-proof abstractions.
A boring three-table schema that's in production beats a beautiful five-layer abstraction that isn't. I write the smallest thing that solves the problem, ship it, and refactor only after the shape of real use is visible.
Own the full stack — from database schema to UI interaction.
The seams between layers are where bugs live. A single person who can chase a problem from a click through a queue into a stored procedure ships finished work, not handoffs.
Maintain relentlessly. Launch is just the beginning.
Most of a system's life is after launch. I write tests that protect against the bugs you'll regret, set up the dashboards that let you sleep, and stay around long enough to know whether it worked.
Projects.

Workflow tool for seminary students to stay on top of coursework: assignments, reading logs, course progress, and academic deadlines in one focused interface.
Have a project
in mind?
I take on a small number of client projects at a time. If you're building something serious, let's talk.
