I'm one of the people behind Edify, a company we built on the idea that good software is never just about code. I help steer the big-picture direction and keep things grounded—talking with clients, listening to the team, and trying not to lose the thread between strategy and the everyday. I've been working in tech for over 20 years. Started on the visual and interaction side, then got pulled into deeper engineering challenges. At one point, I was CTO and focused on internal tooling and standards so our team could ship consistently good work without burning out. I care about systems that work, but more than that, I care about the people building them. I like thoughtful processes, clear code, and teams that leave room for questions. I tend to get drawn to education and learning tools—maybe because they feel like they still matter when the laptop’s closed.
