Senior Software Engineer · San Francisco

I build software that holds up in production.

By day for a top-5 US bank. After hours, for the people who actually depend on it: production AI, and websites for local business.

Two ways to work with me.

02 — Field Notes

Day job and after hours.

By day I am a senior engineer at a top-5 US bank, working on authentication, identity, and API-gateway integration: OAuth 2.0 and PKCE, Apigee, PingFederate. It is exacting, unglamorous work, which is the point. Money and identity do not get to be flaky.

After hours I build my own things. Arbiter is an open-source gateway that puts auth and governance in front of AI agents and their tool calls. Hermes is an orchestration daemon I run at home. They are how I keep my hands on the newest layer of the stack, on my own time.

That is the whole idea: someone who has spent years making critical systems boring and reliable, doing the same for the AI features and the small-business sites that people actually depend on.
