16+ years of making teams faster. I lead frontend architecture, eliminate technical debt at scale, and build systems that compound velocity over time. Force multiplier by design.

Grew from Senior Developer to Director of Engineering over 8 years. Built the engineering organization, owned technical roadmap, led architecture reviews, and established the hiring process.
INDY · Feb 2016 – Jun 2024I'm not just a developer—I'm a technical strategist who bridges architecture decisions with business outcomes. My focus is onsustainable practices: migrations, modularization, and component systems that compound team velocity over time.
I've spent 14 years learning that the hardest problems aren't technical—they're organizational. Legacy code, circular dependencies, and tech debt are symptoms. The cure is architecture that serves humans, not just machines.
I'm always interested in conversations about frontend architecture, team scaling, and legacy modernization. Whether you're facing a technical challenge or just want to exchange ideas—reach out.
