I design and operate AI-driven development systems.

I'm a software developer and systems architect with 25+ years of experience building things that actually work at scale — from a Python pipeline ingesting 40 million data points from industrial water systems, to the AI-assisted development workflow I run daily that takes a ticket from specification to merged pull request with minimal human intervention.

My current work spans managing two offshore development teams and owning the API layer connecting five applications in a full e-commerce platform rewrite — while finding ways to eliminate manual work wherever I find it. When a teammate's weekly pricing audit process was eating hours each week, I automated the entire thing: email parsing, Playwright-driven website login and price comparison, and automated distribution of the results. That's the kind of problem I look for.

My development approach is fully AI-native. I work with a tuned Claude Code agent I call Cornelius to spec, plan, and execute development tasks end-to-end. I measure the pipeline's performance, iterate on it continuously, and use it to ship production code. This site was built using that workflow.

I'm based in Graham, NC and open to roles where technical autonomy, systems thinking, and AI-native development are valued. I work best when I'm trusted to figure out how to get somewhere, not just told which road to take.
