From messy inputs to working software.
I design and ship clear systems across product, code, and execution.
First lines in Pascal and HTML. A few hackathon wins, and an industrial configurator as my first real project. Learned early that shipping beats theory every time.
Stayed close to code while growing product judgment. I believe the best products come from engineers who understand users, and the best execution comes from leaders who understand code. I do both.
Too many cycles of re-inferring intent from code and stale wikis. Context rot is expensive, it kills velocity. There had to be a better way.
Building living knowledge bases that stay in sync with code. Module overviews, key flows, file-level "how it works" - all automatically maintained. I set direction, write hard docs/RFCs, keep a weekly demo cadence, and jump in to ship when it matters.
Currently learning jewelry-making. I like ancient, Romanesque, and brutalist architecture. I also care too much about perfumes.
