About
Born and raised in rural Downeast Maine. My first memories include beige CRT monitors and chittering hard drives. Started coding at 8 years old. Started making music at 10.
My tech career began shortly after, removing viruses and replacing screens. I worked my way up from there:
- Computer technician
- Help desk
- Sys admin
- Freelance developer
- Founding-level engineer
I bring a wide range of skills across multiple technical domains and a unique perspective to problem solving. Fully AI-native, leveraging LLMs daily for coding tasks.
Philosophy
Code is just the output. What actually matters is understanding the problem, aligning the team, and shipping something that moves the needle. LLMs forced me to realize that when anyone can generate code, the best engineers are the ones who can see the big picture.
These days my focus is on systems, not syntax. How do we structure the work? Who owns what? What's the fastest path to learning if we're wrong? Everyone can write code now. Execution is what separates people.
I still enjoy the craft, though. And I'll always have a soft spot for rescuing legacy systems from the brink.

What I Do
Tech 10+ yrs professional exp.
Music lifelong hobbyist
Tools of the Trade
Music
When I'm not writing code, I'm probably writing songs. Bedroom producer vibes with the occasional collaboration. Here are a few favorites:
Other Passions
I'm really into sketch comedy, stand-up, improv, and television in general. Someday, I would really love to break into entertainment, but I have no idea where to start.
I've got a Google Drive full of TV show pitches and skit ideas that are just sitting there, waiting for someone to tell me how bad they are.
If you're in the comedy space and want to collaborate — or just roast my ideas — hit me up. Brutal honesty encouraged.
