The Story (The Short Version)

I used to have a blog here. After a while, I got tired of managing the CMS, updating plugins, fixing security issues, and paying for hosting on a site I no longer updated. So, I took it down and replaced it with this simple one-page site.

I’m a software developer looking for my next role. For over 30 years, I’ve built things that work, fixed things that don’t, and kept my tools as simple as possible. I also spend a lot of time on side projects and hobbies that aren’t about making money.

What I Actually Enjoy

Building, Breaking, & Fixing Things: I get real satisfaction from solving problems, whether I’m making a prototype or fixing a bug. It could be a broken customer workflow, a plugin issue, or a game mechanic. The size of the problem doesn’t matter, but what matters is finding a solution.

AI & Experimentation: Like many developers, I try to keep up with new AI tools. I build workflows that bring AI inside existing systems and try to tell what’s actually useful from what’s just hype. I’m especially interested in how automation and human originality meet, and how AI can take care of the boring parts so people can focus on real problems.

Games & Game Development: I’ve been playing games since the 80s. Now, I use some of my free time to tinker with the Godot engine, building small game prototypes, and learning more about game design concepts as a hobby. I also help indie developers by playtesting their games.

Simplicity: I try to avoid making things more complicated than they need to be. That’s why this site uses static HTML, why I like lightweight tools that do one job well, and why I want to understand how a system works instead of just accepting the defaults.

Helping Others: I often join online tech communities to answer questions, help fix errors, and support people starting new projects. I don’t do this for money. I just like explaining things clearly, solving tricky problems, or helping someone see an issue in a new way.

The Reality

I’ve worked at startups, spent 18 years in agencies with different clients, and held support leadership roles at several companies. Over the years, I’ve written many knowledge base articles, handled thousands of support tickets, and fixed tough system issues in the middle of the night.

But this site isn’t a resume. I’d rather spend a Saturday coding an app idea, learning a new game dev trick in Godot, or playtesting a friend’s build than updating my LinkedIn profile. I like to think deeply about technical problems, value being real, and enjoy working with people who care about building real solutions.

The TL;DR

I build and repair systems. I’m really curious about AI, game design, and how software works under the hood. I’m looking for my next engineering or support leadership role. I want to work somewhere meaningful with people who care. Mostly, I just want to keep learning, stay curious, and maybe release a game one day.
