Senior Software Engineer at Shopify, where I helped build the customer accounts platform from scratch. It now serves over a million merchants and millions of shoppers a day. After hours I design, build, and run my own products: personal finance, AI memory, church community, developer tools.
Six systems I design, build, and operate myself. Case studies open the architecture and the trade-offs. Live links open the real thing.
AI-powered personal finance with bank sync that never touches Plaid.
Credentials stay on the phone. An LLM writes each bank's extractor once, then it runs cached and deterministic forever. Automatic categorization, a natural-language assistant on Apple Intelligence or GPT, and the whole dataset exposed over MCP. On the App Store and the Chrome Web Store.
The community app for TENT. Built twice, the second time native.
Started as a React Native app on Firebase, then rebuilt like-for-like as a full native SwiftUI app: MVVM with protocol-backed services, an editorial design system, Liquid Glass on iOS 26 with a clean iOS 16 baseline.
A persistent memory layer that follows you across Claude, ChatGPT, and the CLI.
One MCP endpoint, your Postgres. Tokenized recall with tag-weighted scoring. Replaces each lab's built-in memory with something that survives the next vendor switch. I use it every day.
An AI copilot for the inbox that briefs, drafts, and remembers.
Morning briefings, drafts in your tone, and conversational search across threads. It sits next to Gmail, not instead of it. A NestJS service with a first-class memory module.
A native desktop surface for Claude Code where the official app isn't allowed.
An Electron wrapper around the approved CLI. Conversation history, worktree git ops, and a custom MCP bridge that turns tool approvals into real modal dialogs.
Version control built for the era when agents write most of the code.
Three Rust services (API, collab, and a streaming execution runtime) under a React IDE. A semantic merge engine instead of text merge.
The condensed version. The full one is a click away.

Laid the foundations of customer account extensibility: inline and full-page apps and extensions that thousands of third-party developers now build on.
Built internal testing APIs in TypeScript for React UI, GraphQL, and accessibility testing; maintain the team's deployment and CI/CD infrastructure.
Part of Shopify's technical alignment group for frontend components and API patterns. Mentor junior engineers, interview candidates, and present technical solutions to directors.
Built a new authentication system letting unrepresented buyers sign up for pre-market real-estate listings. React, TypeScript, NestJS, and OAuth with Google and Facebook.
Shipped an agent-assignment flow on sign-up that opened a new revenue line, plus a steady stream of features and fixes across the product.
I run a small AI-systems practice on the side. One fractional engagement per quarter, for teams whose data can't leave the building. Finance, legal, medical, defense. The case studies, the process, and the intake form live one path over.
Hiring, collaborating, or just curious about one of the projects? My inbox is open. Building something with a hard data path? The consulting intake is at /ai.
