About · how I work

The seams are where the work gets interesting.

I'm a software engineer drawn to the seams — where intent, data, and interface disagree. Most of that work has been on the front end, and it's where I learned to take those disagreements seriously.

My work follows a small pipeline: shape, research, write, execute, compound. The goal is that each feature makes the next one easier to build. Explicit state, clear data flow, few clever tricks — correctness and stability first.

Bloomington, Indiana. Remote by choice — the work travels, and this is home.
