👨‍💻 Principal Engineer with 15+ years of diving deep into mission-critical systems. I architect high-scale SaaS platforms that create real value. My passion lies in exploring, learning, and truly understanding all aspects of systems and technology.

🏠 Based in California, I’ve been working remotely for more than a decade—fully remote since 2019, before it was cool. I’ve led technical transformations across distributed teams, developed prototypes that generated millions in revenue, and saved companies millions in cloud costs.

🏔️ When I’m not building systems or mentoring engineers, you’ll find me in nature. I love the mountains of Lake Tahoe, where I’m from, and the beaches and oceans of California and beyond. I’m drawn to technology gadgets and hacker culture—a HAM radio enthusiast and proud DEFCON black badge holder.

🫂 I’m passionate about bridging the gap between complex systems and the humans who use them.
