At SafetyCulture he led the design of sync-less inspection systems and a gRPC directory service, and at Dovetail he progressed from senior to staff engineer contributing to research-focused product tooling.

A former game-tech and systems intern turned technical lead, he brings curiosity from prototyping to production.
