Products people depend on.

A few of the systems I’ve designed and shipped. Most of my work lives in private repositories, so this is the short tour.

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.

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.

04 / 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.

Built to be maintained

Clear, readable systems that the next engineer can pick up and extend with confidence, long after launch.

Care where it counts

The parts of a system a business can’t afford to get wrong get the most attention, and I don’t call anything done until it works.

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.
