Happiest with a good view — mountains, forests & lakes

Base camp

Engineering with
altitude.

I'm a Lead Software Engineer with over 18 years of experience building software platforms that support revenue, marketing, operations, and performance teams. I've led cloud architecture and AWS modernization initiatives across multiple organizations, designed executive dashboards that give leadership real visibility into the business, and built marketing attribution systems that change how campaigns get measured.

What I care about most is the team: mentoring engineers, establishing standards that raise the quality bar, and improving the delivery process so good work ships predictably. I partner directly with business stakeholders — the best technology decisions start with understanding the problem, not the tooling.

Off the clock, I'm happiest somewhere scenic — mountains, forests, lakes — with three huskies for company. Less about the trek, more about the view.

The pack

Three huskies.
Zero quiet moments.

The best views come with company. Mine happens to be furry, blue-eyed, and loud. I'm there for the scenery — they're there for the squirrels. Either way, the mountains, forests, and lakes never get old.

  • 🐾 Chief morale officers
  • 🌲 Professional scenery appreciators
  • 🛷 Strong opinions about squirrels
  • 🦝 Raccoons: honorary members (application under review)
