I'm a systems thinker who finds patterns everywhere - in distributed architectures, family dynamics, and the space between what people say and what they mean.

As a Principal Solutions Architect at AWS, I spend my days designing resilient systems that scale. The rest of the time, I'm fascinated by the other kind of systems, the psychological ones that shape how we love, hurt, and heal.

I like to read for insight into human nature, dance badly to reggaeton with my kids, and believe that the most interesting problems exist at the intersection of technology and psychology. My writing explores both the architecture of software and the architecture of transformation.

Twenty-five years of coding taught me that the most elegant solutions often look simple from the outside. The same principle applies to life: the deepest wisdom usually sounds obvious once you've done the work to understand it.

I live among tall trees in Bellevue with my wife and three children, where I've learned that building a peaceful family is harder and more rewarding than building any system.
