Experience

I've spent over a decade turning messy problems into software people actually want to use — wearing just about every hat along the way: engineer, lead, architect, and manager.

What ties it all together is simple: I like making things better. Faster releases, cleaner architecture, happier teams, less tedious busywork. Here's where I've done it — and a hint at what I could do next.

Work Stuff

From A/B testing platforms to financial services to climate tech, I've shipped across a wide range of industries and team sizes — early startups where I was one of three engineers, and established teams I helped level up.

Here's where I've worked and what I accomplished at each stop.

Projects

I honestly love what I do. Building software and solving problems just feels like something I was born to do — so even when I'm off the clock, you'll usually find me hacking on a personal project.

Here are a few I've built — and actually shipped.

A personal productivity app built around David Allen's Getting Things Done method — designed, built, and shipped entirely solo.

Launched to the public on 1 Nov, 2024 — my first released product
Pairs task and project management with a little AI help and habit tracking
Still my own #1 tool for staying on top of everything, with new features shipping all the time

Big things are planned, so bee on the lookout. (I couldn't help myself.)

Several years ago, I adopted the Getting Things Done system to help manage all the things going on in my life. For a long time, I was able to make due with just using a note taking app. But after a while I outgrew that system and needed something a bit more. I spent a few months checking out different tools to replace it, but none really fit. So, like a true engineer, I dove in and decided to build the tool I was looking for...and so BuzyBee was born!

From managing all the tasks and projects going on (and throwing in a little AI to help), to tracking and building habits, BuzyBee has become my #1 place to keep a handle on my personal productivity.
