// about

Engineer first. Builder, always.

I've spent 7+ years in production systems — coordinating drone deliveries at Amazon, measuring ads at Twitch scale, automating backend workflows at a bank. Somewhere in there I started building my own products instead of just fixing other people's queues, and I haven't really stopped since.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, mostly — currently a brown belt, training out of Memphis. It's the same discipline as debugging distributed systems: stay calm when it's not working, and don't mistake motion for progress.
