I don’t chase trends. I chase understanding.
I build systems that are expected to:
- fail gracefully
- explain themselves
- be maintained by humans, not heroes
My years in GIS taught me that context matters. A system without context is just noise.
Current State
- building backend & spatial systems
- balancing delivery and correctness
- learning to remove more than I add
