About

Computers and video games have held my attention for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I filled notebooks with ideas for gadgets that combined whatever I wanted close at hand, usually a Game Boy, a CD player, and a digital camera. When the iPhone was introduced in 2007, it felt like someone had made that kind of sketch real.

I began my career in automated testing. At first, I was impatient to move closer to product development. In hindsight, learning to look for failure modes, unstated assumptions, and the gap between intended and actual behavior gave me a foundation I still use every day. That tester’s mindset now shapes how I approach both architecture and interface work.

At Acquia, my work has grown from individual product interfaces into the shared systems beneath them. As a Staff Software Engineer, I set direction across frontend architecture, design systems, and developer tooling. The goal is to give product teams a dependable foundation for delivering coherent experiences across the platform.

I still care about the small decisions that determine whether an interface feels understandable. Sophisticated technology only matters when people can use it with confidence. I enjoy translating between design and engineering, then building the structures that let teams carry that care across a product.

Outside work, I practice Kokikai Aikido, play video games, and spend a lot of time throwing a frisbee for my border collie.
