01About

I'm a software engineer and architect with over 30 years of experience building systems that solve real problems. I've spent the bulk of my career in the .NET ecosystem, working across domains from enterprise platforms to collaborative design tools.

These days I'm focused on domain-driven design, clean architecture, and finding practical ways to use AI-assisted development in day-to-day work. I care about writing software that's honest about what it models, easy to reason about, and built to evolve. I also enjoy mentoring other developers and helping teams level up their craft.
