Profile
I’ve spent 20 years building software that works under pressure — from complex PHP backends to JavaScript frontends to data pipelines that have to be right the first time.
I think in systems. I debug fast, work autonomously, and go deep where others go wide. My background before software was 7 years driving heavy trucks internationally — it taught me reliability, self-reliance, and how to solve problems alone at 3am with no backup.
Outside of code: volunteer firefighter and first-aid medic. I show up when things go wrong.
Core values: Truth · Loyalty · Mastery.
