I build the systems
others build upon

I'm a backend-focused software engineer with a deep interest in platform foundations, reliability, and long-term scalability. I enjoy working on problems where the solution needs to be robust enough to outlast the moment.

Currently at SolarWinds, I've led foundational initiatives across scheduling, identity, and notification systems, designing architectures that prioritize determinism, clarity, and maintainability.

I think in systems. When approaching a problem, I consider how it connects to everything else- the downstream effects, the edge cases, and how the solution will evolve as the product grows.

Current Focus

  • Notification system redesign & multi-channel delivery
  • Identity platform consolidation
  • Schema-first API architecture
