Hello, and welcome.
I'm glad you found your way here.
For many years this domain hosted a software development blog where I shared ideas, solved interesting problems, and occasionally disappeared down technical rabbit holes. Eventually life became busier, the blog quieter, and I realized it was time to simplify rather than continue publishing out of obligation.
Today this site has a much simpler purpose: it's my home on the web. A place for old friends, former colleagues, and anyone curious enough to wonder what became of me.
I'm still a software engineer. If anything, I probably write more software today—and solve more interesting problems—than I ever did. Curiosity never left; it simply found different outlets.
If You Knew Me Then…
If you knew me through The Horde Project, Horde LLC, or the blog that once lived here, welcome back.
As my career evolved, I took on increasingly demanding engineering and leadership roles. Open source had always been a labor of love, but there came a point where maintaining what had effectively become a second technical career no longer fit the life I wanted to build.
I chose to spend more time with my family, pursue interests outside of work, and become more intentional about how I invested my evenings and weekends. That wasn't a step away from technology—it was a step toward balance.
I still love building software. I just no longer feel the need to turn every technical curiosity into a public project or another long-term commitment.
The Horde Years
A defining chapter of my career was serving as a core developer for The Horde Project and later becoming a founding member of Horde LLC, the commercial organization created to provide professional services around the project.
Those years gave me the opportunity to collaborate with an exceptional community, mentor contributors, review countless patches, and help build software used around the world.
Although I'm no longer involved in the project's day-to-day life, I'm deeply grateful for that chapter and for the friendships and lessons that came with it.
Today
These days I'm happiest solving interesting problems, learning something new, and keeping things intentionally simple.
My interests currently revolve around AI, automation, software architecture, and applying technology thoughtfully rather than accumulating it.
Experience has taught me that simplicity is often the most sophisticated solution—and that the best technology is frequently the technology I don't have to think about.
Thanks for Stopping By
Whether we worked together years ago, found an old blog post, or simply wandered in, I'm glad you stopped by.
