WPT 01 / ABOUT

I engineer software that ships — and things that fly.

My motive is simple: technology should quietly carry someone's day. I'm a software engineer who ships whole products — backends, mobile apps, dashboards, and the data pipelines behind them — and keeps them standing in production.

Right now I lead a four-engineer team at GeniusLaw, where 510+ attorneys across 350+ law firms work on our platform every day at 99.98% uptime. The robots and aircraft are where the engineering instincts come from — build, fly, crash, rebuild.
