A collector of mechanical time.
A reed-player after dark.
An engineering leader in between.

Different surfaces, identical pursuit: getting one small thing exactly right, then moving on.
A small but considered collection: Patek, Lange, Hublot, Cartier. The fascination is the same as the engineering one — how a closed system, made of small parts, holds time inside itself.
A working musician's discipline applied to one horn. I chase tone — the warm, breathy thing — through Stan Getz, Paul Desmond, and whoever I'm listening to that week. The reed is a teacher in patience.
I lead an 80-engineer org at Axon, spanning Identity, Design Systems, and the Safe Change Platform. I care about the spaces between code, where tools either help engineers ship or quietly slow them down.
Small objects of attention. Watches I wear, the horn I play, places I work from.

Personal projects and experiments. Some live, some still in the workshop. Each one was something I wanted to exist.
A high-fidelity mobile app for managing a luxury watch collection. Wear analytics, lunar reference, vault-grade security.
A practice journal for woodwind players. Track reeds, tempos, repertoire. The kind of tool I always wished I had on the music stand.
Visual exploration tool for CI/CD topology, build dependency graphs, and DORA metric drill-downs. Built from a decade of frustration.
