The industry is saturated with specialists who have followed predictable career trajectories, creating a shortage of engineers who can bridge multiple technical domains. Organizations consistently struggle to find professionals who understand both the granular technical details and the broader architectural implications across traditionally siloed disciplines.

I bring three decades of cross-domain expertise spanning the entire software engineering ecosystem, from low-level systems programming and infrastructure automation to application development and enterprise architecture. This breadth enables me to identify solutions and optimize systems in ways that specialists confined to a single domain cannot.

I thrive in high-pace, rapidly evolving environments that require continual learning and absorbing large amounts of information, and really enjoy identifying abstract connections. This has served me well in time-sensitive, high-pressure situations where understanding the underlying root cause quickly can mean the difference between a minor incident and a major outage.

I thrive on complex challenges and novel problems but struggle with monotonous maintenance work. I'm probably not the best tool for the job if you're looking for someone to maintain and operate stable, predictable systems without innovation or evolution... though I would love to build them for you.
