0 / 2600 characters

I make complex software systems easier to understand and safer to change.

I am a Staff Software Engineer rooted in the discipline of software engineering. I work across multiple levels of system architecture: from low-level runtime behavior and telemetry through distributed asynchronous workflows and cross-team organizational boundaries.

I stay close to the code while helping engineering teams agree on what the system actually does, who owns it, and how to change it safely under live customer load.

What I Do:
• Platform Architecture & Legacy Modernization: Reconstructing undocumented execution flows, untangling multi-step state machines, and executing zero-downtime database and framework migrations.
• Production Reliability & Incident Response: Serving as final escalation lead for high-severity production failures, diagnosing live system pathology, and turning outages into permanent organizational and operational safeguards.
• Systems Observability: Founding and scaling OpenTelemetry working groups, defining metric and trace semantics across polyglot microservices, and aligning telemetry with actual business transactions.
• Sovereign Verification & Systems Tooling: Building deterministic, offline-capable developer runtimes, UNIX pipeline tooling, and local-first evaluation harnesses that hold non-deterministic systems accountable.

Selected Work & Proof:
1. OneMain Financial (Staff Software Engineer): Led acquisitions platform architecture, resolved multi-step session state integrity failures, founded the enterprise OpenTelemetry Working Group, and modernized core Rails services under continuous production load.
2. The Sovereign Verification Project: A 3-part forensic systems investigation analyzing DSP audio restoration, dual-model generative divergence, and domain boundaries under 345,000-volt high-tension transmission lines (just3ws.com/series/ai-competence/).
3. The Sound Above: A 37-episode technical rewatch series examining twenty years of Software Craftsmanship history, community building, and engineering stewardship (just3ws.com/series/the-sound-above/).
4. Phalanx Duel: A tactical rules engine and zero-indirection state machine built in Go, TypeScript, and SwiftUI (just3ws.com/phalanx-duel/).

Principal Architect : Phalanx Duel

January 2022 to Present · Independent Project

Original: 0 / 2000 characters

Designing and building a real-time tactical game platform as a current hands-on laboratory for deterministic systems, product architecture, and controlled AI-assisted engineering.
• Designed a deterministic engine with replayable action logs and server-authoritative state transitions, making complex outcomes reproducible and independently verifiable.
• Built replay validation, adversarial coverage, and CI verification gates so state transitions can be checked across the complete lifecycle.
• Uses controlled agent workflows with bounded tasks, acceptance criteria, automated checks, and human-reviewed outputs rather than treating model output as authority.

Rails 8 platform for multi-source job ingestion, semantic matching, and application automation, built as a working laboratory for local-first LLM orchestration and treating scraped third-party text as hostile input.
• Multi-Source Data Ingestion: Built a multi-source Rails ingestion pipeline and PostgreSQL storage schema, unifying fragmented job market datasets for structured downstream analysis.
• Semantic Search & Embeddings: Implemented vector search embeddings via pgvector, enabling high-precision semantic matching between complex candidate profiles and job requirements.
• Local-First AI Orchestration: Designed provider-agnostic LLM orchestration layer (llama.cpp/Ollama with hosted Claude fallback), enforcing local-first inference for sensitive data with per-call model routing.
• Prompt Injection Defense: Built a 4-stage guardrails pipeline screening untrusted scraped text via weighted heuristics and instruction-density scoring before model ingestion.
• Browser Extension & Lifecycle Capture: Built an MV3 Chrome extension with 16 provider adapters that extracts postings from live ATS pages and captures full application lifecycles.
• Architectural Constraint Injection: Injected static analysis rules and architectural constraints into model context windows, preventing drift between generated outputs and security contracts.

Principal Engineer & Curator : Technical Conversation Archive

January 2011 to Present · Independent Project

Original: 0 / 2000 characters

Recorded, and later restored, an archive of 214 technical interviews with practitioners from the Ruby, JVM, and Software Craftsmanship movements, using a local-only AI pipeline to transcribe, structure, and cross-link a longitudinal record of primary-source material into a searchable knowledge graph.
• Local-Only AI Restoration Pipeline: Built a Whisper and local-LLM pipeline that transcribes, diarizes, and structures long-form interview audio entirely on-device, keeping a large private media corpus off third-party inference services.
• Schema-Validated Content Platform: Runs on a contract-validated data layer: every interview, asset, and transcript is checked against an explicit schema at build time, with referential-integrity checks that fail the build rather than publishing broken data.
• Semantic Cross-Linking & Taxonomy Generation: Generates a topic taxonomy, knowledge graph, and semantic cross-links across the corpus, turning an unstructured media archive into navigable, individually indexed pages.
• Primary-Source Capture: Conducted the original interviews on-site at GOTO Conference, Software Craftsmanship North America, RailsConf, and WindyCityRails, with practitioners including Dave Thomas, Stuart Halloway, Corey Haines, Sandro Mancuso, and Micah Martin.
• Digital Archaeology: Recovered and reconstructed material from defunct platforms and web archives, reconciling incomplete metadata across sources to restore provenance for recordings that would otherwise have been lost.
