Software engineer. Patent holder. Android architect. 30 years experience.
I'm a software engineer with 30 years of experience building scalable software across mobile, web, and IoT platforms. I started Computerist Solutions as a direct contractor for an airline and have been building software for clients and employers ever since.
I hold 3 US patents, co-founded the open-source Fluent Migrator framework for .NET, and have led architecture and engineering at companies ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 500. Most recently I've been the lead Android architect at Sam's Club, where my analytics library ships in an app with 10 million downloads.
I'm also an active user of AI coding tools in my daily work and have written and spoken about where they genuinely help — and where they don't.
I take on consulting work in mobile development, integration middleware, and analytics. I'm happy to build new projects from scratch, but I'm particularly good at filling gaps in existing systems — connecting a CRM to an EHR, instrumenting analytics in a legacy codebase, or modernizing an Android app.
I'll give you an honest technical opinion even if I'm not the right person for the job.
