Work with me

I work with teams that need reliable automation, delivery systems, and data workflows that hold up under real operational pressure. Depending on the context, that can mean a full-time role, a scoped consulting engagement, or advisory work.

This page is here to help determine fit before anyone invests time.

If you're a recruiter or hiring manager

I'm a senior backend and platform engineer with deep experience in Go, PostgreSQL, and cloud automation. My background is rooted in release engineering, systems integration, and long-lived tooling that teams rely on in production.

I'm open to conversations about roles where ownership matters more than novelty, systems are expected to survive audits, incidents, and change, and reliability and correctness are first-class concerns.

If that sounds aligned, feel free to reach out and share context about the role and team.

If you're considering a contract or consulting engagement

I take on a limited number of outside engagements focused on replacing fragile manual processes with durable automation.

Most engagements are scoped projects rather than open-ended hourly work, defined around outcomes and operational risk, and designed so teams can own and operate the result long-term.

Typical work includes delivery automation, database migration and recovery workflows, and systems integration where correctness matters.

Engagements range from focused advisory work to multi-phase automation projects, depending on scope and constraints.

Availability and scope

I'm selective about outside work and only take on engagements that are clearly defined, non-overlapping, and compatible with my existing professional commitments.

That means no competitive or conflicting work, clear boundaries around time and scope, and transparency up front about expectations.

If something isn't a fit, I'll say so early.

Next steps

If this sounds like a potential fit, the next step is a short conversation to understand the problem space and constraints before discussing scope or approach.
