Senior AI Software Engineer · Santa Barbara

I make complicated software useful.

I’ve spent more than 20 years building software people depend on. Today that means AI products, Rails systems, and native Apple apps.

About

Still hands-on after 20 years.

I’ve built commerce systems, online classrooms, golf-league software, and apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro.

The best projects blur product, engineering, and operations. I like finding the constraint and staying around to see whether the fix worked.

Interesting problem?

I’m always glad to talk about AI products, Apple platforms, and software that refuses to behave.
