About: 

"I’m a backend engineer who loves simplifying complex systems, whether that means untangling distributed services, making inventory work at scale, or turning customer pain points into elegant solutions. For the past decade, I've been deep in the ecommerce trenches: inventory management, order flows, channel integrations — the critical infrastructure that makes commerce actually work.

What drives me is building software that real people depend on. I've spent years at Square and Stitch Labs working on systems that handle millions of transactions, and I've learned that the best engineering happens when you understand both the business problem and the humans using your code. Whether I'm designing a new service boundary or debugging why inventory counts are off by three units, I approach problems with curiosity and a healthy dose of skepticism.

I thrive in cross-functional environments where I can work closely with product, support, and business teams. Some of my favorite projects have been integrations that seem simple on the surface but require deep domain knowledge to get right. I believe in clear communication, taking ownership of outcomes, and building systems that the next engineer (who might be you at 2 AM) can actually understand.

I'm also fascinated by how AI is changing our craft. I use modern tools to boost my productivity (from code generation to research) but I'm a firm believer that human judgment, code review, and understanding the business context remain irreplaceable. Technology amplifies good engineering practices; it doesn't replace them."
