A little about me

The work changes. The standard stays the same.

I started in software testing. That taught me to notice the small things that can break trust.

Since then, I've built mobile apps, payment systems, hotel keys, fleet tools, identity services, and products for family-building.

Along the way, I've managed engineers, coached new developers, helped hire teams, and worked with founders to get new products off the ground. I still care about the same things: make the problem clear, build what matters, and leave the team stronger.

Selected work

A few chapters that shaped how I build.

14+ years

Building products from the first sketch through launch.

Across my career

10M+ app users

I led the team that got new versions of Capital One's mobile app ready for customers. We cut the time it took to put out an update by 30%.

I helped bring mobile development in-house and cut deployment time by 40%.

The work I know well

I'm at my best when the path is not clear.

From idea to launch

I’ve joined as an early engineer at startups, started a consulting company, and built JUNIE from the ground up. I know how to find the first useful version and get it into people’s hands.

Early-stage workProductLaunch

Building trust when failure matters

I’ve worked on pharmacy, payments, identity, hotel access, fleet data, and medical records. I think about what could go wrong early—not after something breaks.

Helping teams carry the work

I’ve managed engineers, coached interns, helped hire teams, and moved work from an outside partner to an in-house team. I care about leaving people with a system they can understand and own.

What I think about

The work keeps giving me new questions.

I like to write when the work changes my mind. Most of the time, a choice looked easy at first. Then I learned something new.

How do you build trust before something goes wrong?

When should a team build, buy, or wait?

How do you use AI without handing over the judgment that matters?
