I help property, legal, and automotive businesses cut manual work, tighten compliance, and scale their systems without the growing pains — by building the APIs, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure that hold it together. 20+ years in the trenches as developer, CTO, and engineer. Backend-first, with enough UI experience to ship a working front end when a project needs one.

Open to: freelance/contract engagements, working on a project basis.
