I’m an experienced software engineer that leads a team of platform developers in the financial recordkeeping space. I learn by building and sharpen that understanding through writing.
Where do engineers actually learn the domain? I read Vernon's Implementing Domain-Driven Design against the system my team runs to understand what its code teaches new engineers and what it leaves for people to explain.
A retirement calculator that projects how long your savings can support your current lifestyle, accounting for returns, taxes, and withdrawals.
A mobile-first home for a mermaid performer and craft maker, with direct paths to bookings and commissions.
Over time, my work has grown from writing application code to designing systems, mentoring engineers, and helping teams turn complicated problems into software they can operate and extend. More of my time now belongs to systems and people, but I refuse to let implementation become something I know only through updates.
This site is where I share what I build and use writing to sort out what I learned from it. For now, it's a small collection of work I can stand behind.
