A little about me
I love a good problem.
The creative problem solving is what I love about building software: getting my head around a challenge, finding a way through it, and making something useful.
My dad started programming with punch cards in the 1960s. He taught computer science as a professor and consulted throughout his career, mostly in oil and gas, with other cool projects sprinkled in, like on-device DNA analysis.
My own path started with websites and custom web applications for businesses at Brickwire. I became a partner and founding team member at RepairQ, leading engineering and technical product development. We sold RepairQ to ServiceCentral in 2017, followed by the sale of ServiceCentral in 2021.
At ServiceCentral, I’m the principal architect and initiated our adoption of AI across engineering and the wider company. As the primary architect and developer, working with four core contributors, I built a shared toolkit for AI-assisted software development: planning, implementation, testing, review, and release. It gives teams a consistent way to manage tools, instructions, and evaluations across products and technology stacks.
I also led a four-week rollout beyond engineering, connecting internal systems so colleagues could understand our software, gather information, create presentations, and automate daily work. That meant hands-on coaching as well as tooling: helping people move past uncertainty and find practical uses for AI. I’ve supported several sister companies through similar adoption efforts and shared our toolkit and rollout playbook across the wider portfolio. I continue to manage adoption, usage, and costs as the tools evolve.
Alongside that work, I’ve built an embeddable AI assistant platform, now in beta supporting a new product rollout. It connects to product APIs and tools, works with what users see on screen, and helps them move from questions to actions. Across these efforts, the goal is the same: build better software and give people more room to tackle work that previously stayed on the backlog.
I’ve poured years of energy into products like RepairQ and an earlier version of WizeFi, working through the challenges of turning an idea into software people rely on. That same drive carries into things I build for my family: Remedies for my wife, Our Book, and games with my four kids.
