Personal Mission

I believe great technology is not just functional—it’s humane. I build systems at the intersection of infrastructure and experience, where the architecture serves not just the user, but the dignity of being human. My focus is on creating tools that are both powerful and thoughtful—designed not only for performance, but for meaning. In a world racing toward automation and scale, I work to make sure we don’t lose sight of the people at the center.

Background

From the beginning of my career, I’ve focused on building systems where user experience is tightly coupled with technical architecture. Whether designing healthcare, aerospace, or banking software, I was always shaping not just the interface but the entire supporting stack—creating GUIs with the database design, business logic, and infrastructure to match. Over time, I deepened my expertise in front-end development, UX architecture, and AWS DevOps, with a strong emphasis on automation and scalability. My technical work has always been grounded in a belief that systems should serve people well, especially in complex, high-stakes environments.

What I’m Looking For

I’m looking for an opportunity to shape systems that don’t just function, but endure—where UX isn’t a layer of polish, but a core architectural concern. I don’t need an organization to have this figured out already. What I want is the room to influence, to bring ethical rigor and design depth into places where it can drive real value and resilience. I thrive where there’s complexity, ambiguity, and the willingness to do things right rather than just fast. I work best with teams that are curious, open to challenge, and committed to building something that actually matters.

Outside of Work

Outside of work, I live a deeply creative and curious life. I hike, bike, and kayak in the Pacific Northwest, where I also keep a well-stocked maker space with a laser cutter, 3D printer, and full woodworking shop. I’m a classically trained composer and multi-instrumentalist, a former professional magician and storyteller, and a published author who has spoken at conferences around the country. I’m a widower and proud father of four amazing sons who keep me grounded and inspired.
