Get to Know Me
I build backend and infrastructure for products people use every day. At Synaptic I own data collection, the customer-facing app, the MCP server and the in-house BI platform behind Portfolio IQ, an analytics product for VC funds, and I migrated the Forge admin tool from MySQL to Postgres, folding its codebase into the main admin app. Outside work I ship developer tools: Walcast, Postgres change data capture for Node published to npm, and Gatecrash, which runs an entire event off a single Raspberry Pi with no internet. I work agent-first, authoring Claude Code Agent Skills and CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md rulesets my team builds with.
Education
Skills
Go, TypeScript, Python and Ruby day to day, on PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Docker and Kubernetes. I build and ship agentic systems with Claude Code, MCP servers and Codex CLI. What I care about most is systems that stay correct under load and survive a bad deploy.
