About me
Cloud, delivery, and teams—without the slide deck theater
I'm a Solutions Architect and Program Manager with two decades driving digital transformation, cloud architecture, and industrial automation. I stepped into professional engineering at thirteen and never looked back—hands-on work, fast feedback loops, and short paths to market beat theory every time. I specialize in resilient, serverless, and cloud-agnostic designs across AWS, Azure, and GCP, with deep work in Industrial IoT and enterprise data management.
I've led cross-functional teams and delivered for some of the fastest-growing businesses in Cincinnati. I own complex project lifecycles end to end, stay active in open source, and I'm a quick study, a straight talker, and a dependable teammate—with a serious passion for mentoring the next generation of builders.
Open Source Projects
Projects I have envisioned and contributed to public for benefit of the communnity and my own learning.
FivFold
Full-stack kits for TypeScript, and more coming soon. One command for complete features—frontend and backend together, without vendor lock-in.
FivWall
Local-first notes with wall and Kanban views, rich editing, and offline PWA. Your data stays on-device until you export it.
