Senior Software Engineer
Backend systems, distributed platforms and AWS — 25+ years of it — now focused on what actually changes when you build software with AI.
I'm a software engineer with over 25 years in the field — the last decade-plus on backend systems, distributed platforms and AWS for IoT and connected-device products. I like hard problems and I like making things better: doing the right things, and doing them right.
Lately that has meant going deep on building with AI. Not bolting a chat widget onto an app, but working out where it genuinely changes how software gets designed, shipped and maintained — and keeping the production-quality bar that 25 years of conventional engineering taught me to expect.
I'm curious by default, I learn fastest in close collaboration with peers and clients, and my interests run from software craftsmanship and domain-driven design to distributed systems, functional programming and DevOps.
“He's a senior engineer with strong backend, distributed-systems and AWS experience who has become particularly effective at building with AI. What I like is that he isn't an AI tourist — he has enough years of conventional software engineering behind him to know what production-quality software requires. He's hands-on, technically curious and product-minded, and he tends to move from ambiguous problem to working solution very quickly. He'd be particularly valuable in a company trying to work out how AI changes its products and its engineering organization, rather than one simply looking for another developer to execute a backlog.”
