Background
I approach software through systems thinking: understanding the problem, breaking it into workable parts, and building tools that are practical, maintainable, and useful. My background combines military discipline, software engineering education, freelance delivery, and hands-on project work across web applications, game systems, automation tools, financial dashboards, and AI-assisted development workflows.
I use modern development tools, including AI-assisted workflows, to plan, prototype, and build software efficiently — always with clear scope and honest communication about what is realistic for each project.
