I'm a software engineer with over 20 years of experience building scalable, enterprise platforms. I’ve led backend and architecture initiatives at companies like Apple, Amazon, and Intuit - designing systems that power millions of users and orchestrate complex enterprise workflows.
Beyond my professional work, I’m deeply passionate about open-source software as a force for innovation - especially for small and mid-sized companies that need affordable, adaptable technology without vendor lock-in.
