The engineer who understood the business first.
For fifteen years I ran real business operations, the messy, human, money-on-the-line kind. Then I learned to build the software those operations were always missing.
I didn't start in engineering and try to understand the business later. I spent fifteen years inside manufacturing, finance, and logistics operations, watching good companies lose time and money in the gap between how they worked and the tools they'd been sold.
When I sit down with a customer now, I don't need the problem translated. I've been inside enough of these workflows to know where the friction is. I audit the process, find where it breaks, and build the fix: full-stack, tested, deployed, owned end to end.
I use Claude Code as a development partner. It shortens the time between understanding a problem and shipping the fix. It doesn't replace judgment about what to build or why. It lets me spend more time on exactly that.
What I'm after now: a forward-deployed or AI engineering role where being close to the customer's reality is the job.

The path here.
Software Engineer
Built a product configurator on a live Epicor ERP using C# business process methods, automating roughly 90% of custom manufacturing orders.
Full-Stack Engineer (Contract)
Designed and shipped a solo, end-to-end contract and operations platform: AI handwriting OCR, e-signatures, and a live revenue dashboard.
Client Relationship Manager
Managed client relationships at a registered investment advisory firm. Non-technical clients, real money on the line, no room to hide behind the complexity. The Series 65 came from this role.
Operations & Project Management
Led cross-functional operations and projects, translating between the people doing the work and the systems meant to help them.
Operations
Early operations and logistics work, where I first saw, up close, how much money lives in the gap between a workflow and its tooling.
