FRACTIONAL STAFF ENGINEER
Technical Director & Modernization Specialist
Your team is slowing down. The 'Haunted Forest' of legacy code is growing. I provide the Staff-level direction needed to migrate to modern architecture (Next.js, Astro) and unblock your roadmap—while you keep shipping.

HOW I HELP
Pragmatic frameworks, hard constraints, and leadership that keeps engineering honest with the business.
HOW I HELP
Pragmatic frameworks, hard constraints, and leadership that keeps engineering honest with the business.
Escaping the 'Haunted Forest.' I guide teams through high-risk migrations: Monolith to Micro-frontends, Java to Node.js, or Legacy React to Next.js/Astro. I help you decouple systems to restore velocity.
Slow builds kill momentum. I audit and rebuild your CI/CD pipelines to slash wait times (e.g., 50m → 9m). The result is lower infrastructure costs and happier, faster engineering teams.
Technical mentorship for Senior/Staff engineers, with a specialized focus on neuro-inclusive leadership. I help you unlock the high-performance potential of neurodivergent talent in your org.
THE BACKGROUND
THE BACKGROUND
I don't just advise; I build. My technical intuition is grounded in 15+ years of shipping complex platforms.
I operate in a dual-stack model: strategic clarity paired with hands-on systems design. That means I deliver architecture reviews with actionable diagrams, platform migrations with guardrails, and executive comms that keep decisions aligned.
