About
Four decades of building software and leading teams.
I have spent 40 years in software — writing code, designing systems, leading teams, and helping organizations modernize. My career has spanned from early PC-era storage systems to enterprise cloud platforms and modern AI integrations. I care deeply about clean architecture, mentorship, and building things that last.
