Creative engineering & visual narrative

The Vision

Raised on rhythm, shaped by design, and grounded in craft, I carried the habits of a professional musician, listening closely, practicing deliberately, and collaborating under pressure, into every role since, and now reliable software and data systems. Same motifs, different arrangements.

  • Full-Stack Development

    • Web applications with Rust backends (Axum, Actix) and modern frontends (Leptos, HTMX)
    • End-to-end solutions from database schema to UI component

  • Data and Business Intelligence

    • Data workflows that connect business requirements, process metrics, systems, and usable outputs
    • Validation, deterministic exports, and SQLite-backed application data
    • Analytics and CRM-focused problem solving grounded in BI experience

  • AI and Automation

    • Local inference and LLM workflows with privacy, cost control, and reproducibility in mind
    • Agent tooling, model routing, and documented developer automation

  • Systems Utilities

    • Command-line tools and developer workflows that make complex systems easier to operate
    • Cross-platform development targeting Windows and Linux
    • Reproducible Nix environments and Rust toolchains

  • Infrastructure

    • Declarative NixOS configurations for reproducible environments
    • Infrastructure-as-code and self-hosted services
