About

Full-stack engineer with front-end roots and ten years of shipping production web apps. I lead delivery on client projects, mentor developers and help shape the architecture behind the product, most recently event-driven microservices with CQRS and event sourcing.

Day to day that’s Angular and TypeScript on the front end and .NET on the back end. I care about platforms that are easy to change: paying down technical debt as ongoing work, and backing improvements with clear business value.
