About Me
I’m an experienced software engineer, technical leader, and builder with 19+ years of experience delivering solutions across cloud platforms, distributed systems, and modern web technologies. I enjoy working with open-source technologies, Amazon Web Services, and helping individuals, small businesses, and startups turn ideas into practical, scalable solutions.
Outside of building software, I enjoy mentoring, teaching, and helping people grow in their careers and confidence through technology.
