About
Systems work with practical consequences.
I'm a senior web developer and systems architect based in Billings, Montana, with over 20 years of full-stack experience — from C and Perl on Oracle to modern PHP, JavaScript, and AI-assisted tooling.
My work centers on WordPress systems, data integrations, and the kind of deep structural problems that don't show up in tutorials. I manage a fleet of 250+ active web environments, including high-stakes transactional systems for real estate APIs, cattle auction platforms, and institutional sites.
Before agency work, I was a technical lead at SunGard Higher Education, where I engineered Perl-based synthetic data generators producing over a million randomized student records for enterprise-scale performance testing. That instinct for system-level thinking has stayed with me.
I have a B.S. in Computer Science from Montana State University. I've also spent 12 years as an institutional volunteer photographer at ZooMontana, which directly informed a specialized WordPress CMS framework I built for zoological institutions.
I approach technical problems the same way regardless of scale: understand the system first, then build something that holds.
