I'm a software architect that implements what he designs with expertise in SaaS platforms, complex cloud orchestration, and security/compliance.

I've worked as a CTO at two companies and designed, built, and deployed three SaaS platforms in AWS. I have experience in scrappy startup and large enterprise environments, and I specialize in health, education, AI, and security/compliance technology. I've managed teams ranging from just me to twenty-five developers building production-grade systems on tight timelines.

Follow me for in-depth walkthroughs of how I build systems - especially the mistakes I've made along the way and what I learned from them. I'll be giving real-world examples from the following topics: AWS CDK, serverless, AI agent workflows (CrewAI/Langchain), CIS/NIST/HIPAA security and compliance, data pipelines, and multi-tenant architecture. Everything on this site is written by me and proven to work in real-world systems — not hallucinated by an LLM.

I'm the father of a couple wonderful, very young, children living in Oregon. I love music, gaming, reading, and baking the best bread you've ever eaten.
