Make & teach
A makerspace is a great place to stay curious.
I volunteer around 3D printers, laser cutters, software development, hardware, and practical technology classes for the local community.

Leadership case studies
The operating work behind reliable teams and platforms.
Three confidential, NDA-safe stories about platform modernization, incident recovery, and engineering enablement. The outcomes are résumé-sourced; the details focus on decisions and operating habits that are safe to share.

Outside the backlog
The rest of the context matters.
The systems I build for fun tend to be smaller, stranger, and full of good lessons: tools for family, maker projects, community classes, and conversations that wander past the job description.
Get outside
Mountain bikes, campfires, and Colorado trips.
My wife and I make time for mountain biking, hiking, camping, and Renaissance fairs—especially when we can head toward the mountains.
Side project
Into the Nerdverse
A side project for conversations about technology, science, pop culture, and the lessons behind the work.
