Software Work
I've been writing code professionally since 2020, but I've been building things my whole life. Carpentry taught me to measure twice. Teaching taught me to meet people where they are. Healthcare taught me that systems either help people or get in their way.
Most of my client work now lives under We Build Good Things — a software studio and fractional technology practice. We build, integrate, and lead — serving as embedded technology partners for organizations doing meaningful work.

Fractional CTO & Solutions Architecture
Not every company needs a full-time CTO — but every company making technology decisions deserves someone in the room who's done it before. Through We Build Good Things, I provide ongoing technology leadership without the full-time hire — strategy, system architecture, vendor evaluation, and the technical clarity your team needs to scale.
