Building software.
Putting your data to work with AI.

I'm a partner at Pine Works, where we design and build custom software products. Lately that means connecting the systems a company already runs on to AI agents that can actually find answers and get work done. I do the hands-on development and the technical leadership, and I've been shipping software for clients for twenty years.

I also run CraftQuest, where I help developers understand their tools and build better software.

Former VP Technology at Happy Cog. I’ve trained developers at NASA and worked with clients including Stanford University, Ben & Jerry’s, and Papa John’s.
