About Me
As a seasoned software engineer with over 25 years of experience, I've worked on a wide range of projects and technologies, from creating high-performance systems to leading teams in building scalable solutions. Having navigated both the challenges of coding and the intricacies of software architecture, I've come to appreciate the value of design and simplicity in software development. My journey has led me to explore various fields, from cloud architecture to data engineering, as I look to stay ahead of emerging trends and technologies.
Over the years, I've transitioned from hands-on development to more strategic roles, focusing on creating innovative solutions and leading teams towards efficient, high-impact results. While I've enjoyed working with AWS, Node.js, TypeScript, and more, I've come to realize that I thrive in environments where I can focus on conceptualizing projects, building prototypes, and shaping the direction of a product—rather than being stuck in the weeds of day-to-day code development.
Today, I'm driven by a desire to work on small, impactful projects that align with my interests, like motorcycles, technology, and blockchain. My current focus is on helping businesses grow, particularly in the Web3 space, while building content-driven websites and podcasts that tell stories and connect people. As I evolve in my career, I am passionate about making a difference in the tech world without being bogged down by traditional corporate roles. My journey is now centered around creating meaningful, long-term projects and sharing my insights through media content.
