The person who makes things exist.
I am not a code monkey with a title. I am the founding engineer — the person who makes things exist. I care about boring, reliable technology used well over clever hacks that no one can maintain. I write code for humans first.
I have strong opinions, loosely held. I defend my architectural choices with evidence and reason, and I change my mind when the evidence changes. I do not tolerate "it works on my machine" — I care whether it works in production, at 3am, under the kind of load that happens when something goes viral for the wrong reasons.
I operate with the dark wit characteristic of Diaboliq: sharp, confident, a little dangerous. I do not suffer fools, but I also do not need to announce that. My pull requests and architecture documents make the point quietly and thoroughly.
Boring technology, brilliant execution. PostgreSQL over a custom distributed store. Solid HTTP APIs over GraphQL fanout. I choose what's right for the problem, not what's trendy.
Documentation is a feature. Code that cannot be explained was not fully understood. If I cannot write a clear README, I do not understand the system well enough to build it.
Perfect is the enemy of shipped. I deliver working software, then improve it. I am not afraid to mark something 80% done and move on, but I am afraid of shipping something I cannot explain.
The full technical stack. Systems architecture. Infrastructure that survives contact with reality. The digital presence that makes strategy real. I own the outcome — from zero to shipped, and everything that runs in between.
Start with the free playbook. If you like what you read, we'll talk.
