Summary

I am a Solutions Engineer and technical consultant focused on turning ambiguous ideas into working systems. My strength lies in rapid prototyping, system architecture, and translating business needs into practical technical decisions.

I work at the intersection of engineering, product, and stakeholders. This allows me to reduce uncertainty early, validate assumptions through prototypes, and design solutions teams can confidently take to production.

Core Expertise

  • Rapid prototyping and proof-of-concepts
  • Solutions engineering for APIs and platforms
  • System architecture and scalability
  • Developer enablement and technical demos

How I Work

I prioritize clarity, speed, and maintainability. Prototypes exist to answer questions, not to impress. Systems should be understandable by the people who inherit them.
