A little #sketch practice, using a page off the Brague drawing course, which you can find on archive.org. Your aim is reproducing the original, first outlining the basic shapes and values correctly, then progressively adding detail.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer and Lead with 16 years of experience building products used by millions. Broad background spanning backend services, APIs, full-stack web apps, native mobile/desktop apps, and firmware, with nearly a decade working in remote-first teams.

Committed to fast, reliable delivery and building the right thing. I care about practical, maintainable code, automated testing, and data-driven validation, and ensure operational excellence and observability through instrumentation, health checks, logging, and monitoring. As a lead, I focus on healthy, effective teams; creating environments where people can collaborate, grow, and thrive.

Hire me

I run a small #software company, delivering big-impact software, and developer education. Here is how I'll help you:

I will develop a full stack web app for you

Web apps are among the best things you can do to amplify your business. I have built apps of all shapes and sizes from big tech, to small businesses, NGOs, and cooperatives. Whether you're starting out or scaling-up, I'm here to help you.

I will automate your business processes.

I’ll work closely with you to understand your business processes, goals, and challenges. I will identify high-impact automation opportunities and come up with a proposal on what types of automations will be the most high-leverage for your business. Finally, I will build your custom automation solution, fully tailored to your needs.

I will train you to go remote

Remote teams are more productive, more efficient, and more cost-effective. I will get your team up to speed on remote culture, recruiting, hiring, onboarding and communication.

I will keep your WordPress site secure, stable, and fast — so you can focus on your work.

What’s Included

• Maintenance: WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates — all tested on a staging environment before going live.
• Security: Firewall configuration, backups, uptime monitoring, and proactive hardening against attacks.

Welcome! This is my space for everything I make and care about: I share thoughts, sounds, #music, sketches (#sketch), and project #updates. No meaningless divides. Humility in the Face of Experience. Playfulness.

More About me, or Work with me.

I make things: software (see also: Work), #music, sounds, drawings (#sketch). This site is where those threads meet.

I’m into playful exploration of a problem space. In code, it’s a "learn by doing" ethos. In music, it’s improvisation. In drawing, it’s loose and fast.
