A little background.

I'm a platform and developer experience engineer based in North Vancouver, BC. I care about the hundred small frictions between code and production — the build that takes too long, the deploy that's manual, the error that only shows up in prod. I've spent the last six years removing them for product teams.

Most recently at Wolters Kluwer (via the StandardFusion acquisition), where I designed the custom delivery framework that cut customer deployment times by 40%. Before that, infrastructure and systems work at Whitecap RSC, and game systems at Night Garden Studios on two released titles.

I think the best platform work is quiet. You notice it because deploys got faster, errors got rarer, and the team stopped having the same conversation every Friday. The work itself rarely makes it into a demo — but it's what lets everything else happen.

Outside of work: hiking, cooking, and twenty years refereeing lacrosse at all levels.
