About
The short version: I learn hard systems fast, and then I teach them to whoever comes next. That pattern has run through everything so far. Music school, then six years as a Navy Mandarin cryptologic linguist (top of my class at DLI), then neuroscience and computer science at CU Boulder, then seven years as a consulting engineer shipping healthcare and fintech systems. The newest hard system is AI tooling, and honestly it's the most fun one yet. I built the AI enablement layer for a HIPAA-regulated delivery team, wrote the guardrails, and got certified as an Anthropic architect along the way.
Off the clock I run a D&D campaign, build games and curricula for my wife and daughter, play guitar, and once built a working set of instruments out of PVC pipe. The ship you walked around up there is my pixel art. I guess the theme is: I like making things that teach people things.
Anyway. Scroll around, poke the wires, and if any of this looks useful to your team, the comms panel works.

AI enablement engineer. Senior engineer (7 years) who builds the systems that make AI tooling safe and useful for real teams: custom subagents, compliance guardrails, review workflows, and self-updating documentation, shipped inside a HIPAA-regulated production environment. Anthropic-certified architect (CCAR-P).
Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, consulting | Nashville, TN | Nov 2018 to Jul 2026
- Built AI enablement for a HIPAA-regulated delivery team on a Medicare care-coordination platform (.NET, React, AWS): custom subagents, HIPAA gates around AI workflows, and guardrails that let the team use AI daily without PHI exposure.
- Created an auto-updating engineering wiki using Claude as a persistent source of truth.
- Built a TEFCA clinical-data integration end to end, with HIPAA audit logging on every PHI access and PHI-safe error surfacing.
- Led development on a fintech modernization: reverse-engineered undocumented business logic for a ground-up rebuild.
- Nine client engagements across healthcare and regulated industries, usually backfilling senior developers on short notice, which means fast context acquisition in codebases I did not write.
United States Navy | 2009 to 2015
Cryptologic Technician Interpretive (E-5), honorable discharge. Top of class in Mandarin at the Defense Language Institute (Provost Award, Martin J. Kellogg Award); led a joint-service team on advanced collection systems and rewrote the associated training programs.

Projects
- This site. A Phaser scene where a pixel version of me walks around a ship and the furniture is the nav menu. You are soaking in it. Source on GitHub.
- Bedtime worldbuilding recorder. A Raspberry Pi bedside rig for my daughter: she talks through her worldbuilding ideas as she falls asleep, AI transcribes and files them into an ever-growing world wiki she reads on her iPad. In progress, and honestly the best product spec I have ever been handed.
- My Algorithm. Local-only analysis of 1,300+ data-broker records pulled via DSAR requests, mapping who is selling what about me. Equal parts privacy tooling and organized spite.
- WorldWizard. A collaborative worldbuilding game built to play with my wife and daughter, currently at version 2.2. Print-ready, family-tested.
- Brickomancy. A print-and-play LEGO party game about building in silence while everyone judges your work. Shipped, not yet playtested, which I am told is very on brand for game design.
- Accent library. A 36-accent reference built while teaching myself dialect work for D&D voices. There is a spreadsheet. There is always a spreadsheet.
