Senior Software Engineer
Systems integration, cross-platform software, and failure analysis
I am a senior software engineer focused on building, integrating, and stabilizing systems that do not exist in isolation. Over the past decade, my work has spanned application software, operating systems, and hardware-dependent environments, with a particular emphasis on integration boundaries, legacy systems, and real-world failure modes.
I am most effective in environments where behavior is unclear, assumptions matter, and reliability depends on understanding how components interact across layers.
I work at the boundaries between components—software interacting with hardware, platforms behaving differently across operating systems, and systems evolving over time. I focus on making those boundaries explicit, predictable, and testable.
Much of my work involves reducing integration risk through targeted testing and validation. This includes hardware-aware test strategies, cross-platform verification, and identifying failure modes before they surface in production.
I regularly work with existing and undocumented systems. This includes researching and reverse-engineering legacy software to understand constraints, extend functionality safely, and avoid regressions.
I am often relied upon when systems behave in unexpected ways. My approach emphasizes narrowing the problem space, examining assumptions across layers, and identifying root causes that span application code, operating system behavior, and hardware interaction.
