About

I build systems
that think ahead.

So you can focus on growth instead of firefighting.

The Journey

Then

Building Things

Websites, workflows, processes — watching them break under scale and complexity.

Shift

Recognizing Patterns

The problem was never the tools. It was always the architecture.

Now

Designing Systems

Creating structures that reduce chaos, scale gracefully, and fail predictably.

Systems Designer

What I Do

I design systems that think so you don't have to.

Reduce Decisions

Systems that eliminate manual decision-making at scale.

Scale Gracefully

Architecture that grows without increasing cognitive load.

Fail Predictably

Systems that break gracefully, not silently.

What I Believe

Principles over practices.

Constraints are a feature, not a limitation

Simplicity is a competitive advantage

Systems should be understandable by those who rely on them

If a system needs constant explanation, it's already failing

"A good system makes the right behavior the default."

Best Fit

I work best with

Founders who think long-term

Building for scale, not just survival

CTOs who care about architecture

Structure over shortcuts

Teams feeling friction

Growth pains that need systems solutions

Not For

Probably not a fit if

You need it done yesterday

Tools matter more than architecture

Quick wins over lasting systems

The Experience

What working together feels like

Fewer

Meetings

Clear

Documentation

Thoughtful

Trade-offs

Zero

Surprises

A final note

This site isn't designed to impress everyone. It's designed to make the right people pause and think:

"This feels different."

If that happened, then it's doing its job.

We'll start with constraints.
