Focused on
Leading the platform team's migration to a typed, event-driven architecture. It's the main thing on my plate right now, and it's teaching me a lot about carrying a large team through big changes calmly.
About / Résumé
A bit more about me
This is where you tell your professional story properly — where you started, what you do best, and what you're working toward now. Keep it warm and specific; hiring managers remember the details.
Right now
What I'm focused on
A quick snapshot of your current priorities. Update it whenever things change — it's the most human section on any résumé site, and it tells people where your head is today.
Learning
Distributed systems and the art of graceful degradation — how to make software that bends instead of breaking. I'm reading papers, breaking prototypes, and forming opinions I'll happily revise.
Away from the keyboard
Mentoring two junior engineers, running slowly on weekend mornings, and working through a stack of woodworking projects that are teaching me patience the hard way.
Background
The longer version
Start with where you are and what you do. A sentence or two is enough to set the scene — people skim résumé sites quickly, so lead with the interesting part and let the rest earn its place on the page.
Then talk about your path: how you got here, the kinds of problems you like to solve, and the teams or projects that shaped how you work. Concrete beats abstract every single time, so name real systems, real numbers, and real outcomes.
Close with what you're looking for now — a role, a team, a type of problem, or simply a good conversation. It's your page; set the tone that feels right to you.
When you're ready, replace every paragraph here with your own words. This placeholder is only here so the layout looks complete from day one.
Experience
Career timeline
A few milestones to give shape to the story. Trim, expand, or rewrite these to match your own path — and keep the most recent role on top.
2023 — now
Staff Engineer, Northlight
Technical lead for the payments platform. I set architecture direction, mentor the team, and still ship production code most weeks. Cut our error budget burn in half over the first year.
2020 — 2023
Senior Engineer, Studio Aster
Owned the analytics and reporting stack end to end and helped grow the engineering team from six to twenty. Learned how much good work depends on trust and clear writing.
2017 — 2020
Product Engineer, Northwind
Cut my teeth at a fast-moving startup where everyone did a bit of everything. Shipped, broke, fixed, repeated — and fell in love with owning a feature from idea to launch.
2017
B.S. Computer Science
Freelanced my way through school building sites for local businesses. That's where the craft first clicked, and where I learned to ship on a deadline.
How I work
Principles I hold to
Clarity
Say the useful thing, write it down, and cut the rest without apology.
Craft
Small details, done with care, add up to systems you can actually trust.
Team first
Good software is a team sport — ego just slows everyone down.
