I build systems that make complexity feel natural.
I work on technology enablement at Whitestone. Most of it comes down to connection: getting platforms, data, and people moving to the same rhythm, automating what repeats, and simplifying what confuses. Commerce, ERP, and automation all have to fit together, and keeping that whole picture in view is the part I like most.
The harder part is rarely the code. It is working out what someone actually needs, then noticing where the current way is quietly costing them time.
I started young, running IRC servers and PHP forums. That became localization work and a Linux distribution built for kids in their own language, then classroom software at Save the Children. Since 2016 I’ve been building commerce systems, custom applications, and automations.
Outside of work I build Auraterm, a native macOS terminal.
