Build the
signal.
I lead engineering teams through the hard middle: turning product ambiguity into durable architecture, raising technical standards, and shipping systems that stay understandable as they scale.
Clarity is
an architecture.
A Tech Lead sits between product intent and engineering reality. My role is to make decisions legible, keep the system coherent, and help teams move quickly without creating tomorrow's incident.
The lead
layer.
Expertise shown as decision domains and tool fluency, not artificial percentage meters.
Architecture
Service boundaries, data flows, API contracts, scalability choices and migration paths that remain comprehensible.
Technical strategy
Turn product constraints into a sequence of engineering bets with explicit trade-offs, ownership and exit criteria.
Team leadership
Mentoring, design reviews, pairing, standards and feedback loops that grow independent engineers and healthy teams.
Delivery systems
Reliable CI/CD, observability, incident learning and pragmatic quality gates that make production safer without slowing the team.
From tickets
to systems.
A career arc built around increasing scope: from implementation, to system ownership, to technical direction and team enablement.
Tech Lead · Northstar Platform
Lead architecture and delivery for a multi-service platform. Run design reviews, mentor engineers, shape technical roadmaps, and partner with product on sequencing high-leverage work.
Senior Software Engineer · VectorWorks
Owned critical services and cross-team integrations, introduced lightweight RFCs and observability standards, and helped move a growing codebase toward clearer service boundaries.
Software Engineer · Meridian Labs
Built customer-facing product systems across backend services and web applications while developing a strong foundation in testing, deployment, data modeling and operational ownership.
Proof in
production.
Case studies framed as technical decisions: the constraint, the architectural move, and the outcome.
Untangled a fast-growing service mesh.
Reframed shared responsibilities into clearer service boundaries, introduced API ownership and created a migration path that let teams ship incrementally instead of waiting for a rewrite.
Quieted the alert stream.
Defined service-level signals, ownership and actionable runbooks so production attention went to customer-impacting events.
Made design review lighter.
Introduced concise RFC templates and decision logs that improved review quality without turning architecture into ceremony.
