Where I've shipped

VFX pipeline tooling, game systems, internal platforms and delivery engineering. The common thread: find the friction between code and customers, then remove it — and write down how so it stays removed.

    Senior Systems Architect

    Whitecap Risk and Safety Consultants

    Joined a growing consultancy with no internal infrastructure and built all of it — documentation, automation, endpoint management and the backend systems behind day-to-day operations.

    • Automated cross-platform endpoint deployment and management across Windows, macOS and Linux.
    • Wrote Python services and tooling for logging, notifications, inventory, invoicing, purchasing and safety records.
    • Started with the wiki — documentation first, then automation anchored to it.

    • Wrote a git pre-commit hook that cut three steps out of the production engineering team's code review loop.
