You have a real technical problem.
I build the solution that actually works.
Legacy systems. Reliability. Capacity. Automation. Custom software. Integrations. AI that has to function in the real world.
Bring me the messy problem. I will figure out the right answer and build (or fix) the parts that matter — with Principal-level judgment and hands-on execution.
20+ years Fortune 100 architecture. Still designs and ships production systems myself.
Not theory. Shipped systems.
These are products and client systems I designed and built. They exist so you can see the quality of thinking and execution before you hire me.
Legacy pricing automation
Connected a Rocket D3 system to Miva so 10,000+ products update without manual work. Recovered 10–20 hours a week.
AI voice that actually books
Phone agent that checks live availability and writes real reservations into the course system. Runs 24/7.
Capacity before customers get stuck
Control plane that watches density and disk, then spins and registers new servers so the next signup still has a home.
Zero-downtime database failover
Hot standby with automatic cutover, full read/write during outages, and clean write-back when the primary returns.
One person who can own the hard parts
Most teams separate the people who understand the problem from the people who write the code. I don't.
Diagnose
I look at the actual systems, constraints, and failure modes.
Build or Fix
I design and implement the solution (or the critical pieces of it).
Harden
Capacity, failover, healing loops, and operational reality so it stops becoming a 2 a.m. problem.
You get Principal-level judgment and the person who still writes the difficult parts.
Why people hire me
- I have already lived the messy versions of the problems most teams only discuss in meetings.
- I still write the hard parts myself instead of handing them to a junior team.
- I will tell you when something does not need custom work.
- You are buying scarce judgment plus execution, not hours or a process.
If the technical answer is not obvious
Tell me what's actually broken, slow, risky, or stuck. I'll tell you straight whether I can help and what the shortest real path looks like.
