I’m a software engineer, founder, and technical advisor based in Southern California. I care about understanding how a business works, figuring out what’s worth building, and turning that into software people rely on.
Through my own company, I help businesses outside the tech industry build software and the teams behind it. Much of that work has been with law firms, working closely with people who know their field deeply and need a technical partner to move things forward. I stay hands-on: mentoring engineers, establishing development practices, and leading delivery.
My background spans co-founding startups and building systems at Amazon and Panasonic Avionics. Working across those settings has shaped how I approach product development: understand the problem, make thoughtful tradeoffs, and give the team a clear path to ship. I’m joining Anduril in October 2026.
Away from the keyboard, you’ll often find me at a baseball game.
If you’re looking for a technical partner to help shape a product or grow an engineering team, I’d love to hear from you.
