I like figuring out how things work—and then making them work better.
Thirteen years building distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and the connective tissue that keeps software running in production. Still learning.
Now
Spacelabs Healthcare, working on the Rothman Index—an FDA-cleared predictive analytics system that spots patient deterioration before it becomes a crisis. It pulls from 26 data points in the EMR and gives clinicians a real-time picture of how sick someone actually is. The kind of work where getting it right matters.
When I’m not coding, I’m probably playing music—piano, upright bass, guitar, djembe. Different instruments, different ways of thinking. There’s something about music that is deeply good for my soul. Currently arranaging random piano parts to old Gillian Welch tunes.
Like everyone I’m riding the AI wave, and am honestly somewhere between deeply concerned and very productive. I’m just trying to learn all I can.
What I Keep Coming Back To
- Distributed systems — How do you keep things coherent when they’re running everywhere at once?
- Cloud-native development — GCP, Spring Boot, containers. The infrastructure side of the puzzle.
- Teams — The best architecture doesn’t matter if people can’t build on it together.
