Open to senior & staff roles and select contracts

I build the software businesses run on.

Senior staff engineer and founder of Built Correct. For 13+ years I’ve turned messy workflows into reliable products across Bloomberg Tax, Walmart, fintech and small business: SaaS architecture, PostgreSQL on AWS, and practical AI that does real work.

Workpapers: from buggy MVP to enterprise product

Workpapers lets accountants build their own data-transformation workflows visually, snapping together blocks to clean, compare and reconcile financial data without writing code.

I inherited a revenue-blocked, bug-ridden pre-sales MVP. The fix was a full re-architecture, an unpopular call at the time. I made the case, won a 40-engineer vote against competing proposals, and led the rebuild.

  • Grew the product to hundreds of enterprise customers
  • Worked across architecture, data modeling and AI integration

  • A trading engine built to handle thinly traded penny stocks
  • Redis caching, scheduled ETL jobs and an admin portal

The system that ran a business

Modernized a huge custom application that ran a 50-person, six-location company: PHP to Node and modern front ends. I hired and led the team, and what we built is still in production today.

Owner & President · Drive Alive, LLC

The business that started my career and taught me to ship against real deadlines.

Approach

Simple on purpose, correct before clever

Self-taught means I never learned to say “that’s not how it’s done.” I build systems that work, that last, and that other engineers want to maintain.

Traceable code

Plain request paths and explicit SQL. A teammate can follow any button to its handler, query and stored field without a guided tour.

Care where it counts

Money, permissions and tenant boundaries get the most scrutiny. Every change is used for real before I call it done.

Senior ownership

I ask the uncomfortable question in the design review, take ownership when things break, and explain the tradeoffs to a CFO as easily as an engineer.
