A self-declared Humaneer: engineering with a human touch and a sense of humor. Since 1996, I've been building things that move, compute, and occasionally crash (gracefully, of course). My roots are in mechanical and software engineering, but I've always believed that creativity and code go hand in hand.

As a CTO and Developer Relations professional, I'm passionate about speaking at conferences and events where I can share insights on platform engineering, technical leadership, and the human side of technology. I specialize in making complex concepts accessible and engaging for diverse audiences—especially those just starting their journey in tech.

Beyond my technical expertise, I'm also a video creator, editor, and designer skilled in Adobe Creative Suite and generative AI. I bring a unique blend of engineering precision and creative vision to video production, making me an ideal collaborator for smaller studios and video opportunities seeking both technical excellence and artistic innovation.

I like my systems scalable, my coffee strong, and my music loud (punk and metal, mostly). Whether I'm speaking on stage, leading technical teams, creating videos, or debugging reality, I try to keep things light, curious, and just a little offbeat.

I believe the best technology solutions come from understanding both the technical challenges and the human stories behind them. If you're a young developer wondering how to bridge the gap between code and creativity, or how to build a career that's both technically sound and personally fulfilling, let's talk. The future of tech needs more engineers who remember that behind every line of code, there's a human story waiting to be told.
