Volt Labs / Ground
A shared starting point for services.
Shared capabilities, conventions, generators, and integration-test fixtures made new services faster to develop and easier to maintain.
Explore GroundPlatform Architect & Engineering Consultant
Architecture,
put to work.
I’ve spent 18 years building and scaling production software. I design systems, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and the platforms engineering teams rely on—then carry the architecture into implementation.
Open to
Consulting engagements, and senior, staff, or platform architecture roles that combine system design with implementation.
Production engineering
ART19 / 2014–2019
Built from zero.
One of the first three engineers. I helped build the production platform, from application code to distributed synchronization and deployment infrastructure.
ART19 / API production scale
100,000+ requests/minute
I built APIs supporting workloads exceeding 100,000 requests per minute as the system scaled.
Volt Labs / Head of Platform
Millions of SMS messages/day
Most recently Head of Platform, working on the architecture and engineering systems behind Volt’s enterprise messaging platform.
Technical workstation setup
~1 week → <20 minutes
Ansible automation, observed repeatedly. External accounts and permissions excluded.
Time to first PR
~1 week → ~1 day
Through the broader platform and developer-experience effort at Volt.
Ground adoption
All new services.
A Rust application framework and CLI I designed and built within the broader internal developer platform effort. Used across the engineering team.

Volt Labs / Developer environments
Setup that stayed useful.
I automated workstation configuration, tooling, databases, and development data. The setup remained in use throughout my time at Volt.
Explore the environment workVolt Labs / Development & build workflows
Work across services. Build without a dedicated machine.
I led the monorepo migration, preserved project histories, and built the project environments and release workflow the team used.
Explore the workflows02 / How I can help
From a technical decision to a working system.
Architecture and design
System and API boundaries, cloud architecture, trade-offs, and a practical path to implementation.
Hands-on implementation
Build production capabilities and integrate them into the systems your team already operates.
Developer tools and experience
Repeatable environments, service foundations, and development and delivery workflows.
Ongoing engineering
Own a defined area of work alongside your team as the system evolves.
Let’s talk
What do you
want to build?
A new system, an API that needs to scale, or a platform that’s getting harder to change. Let’s understand the problem and decide whether there’s a useful next step.
