Background
IT, esports, then internal software.
I came up through IT, then built an esports talent agency from scratch. That work taught me to move quickly, work from evidence, and stay close to the actual decision.
I now work in an employee role on internal recruiting software: candidate intake, matching support, workflow coordination, and operator software.
Alongside that work, I contribute upstream to the tools I use and still represent select professional tennis players through Surge.
Current work
Built for the people doing the work.

Method
Operating principles.
Start with what is failing.
The useful problems are in the gap between the tool and the work.
Build past the demo.
I build for the Monday morning after the demo.
Models do judgment. Rules do structure.
Keep the boundary explicit and test both sides of it.
Ship narrow, then widen.
Prove one workflow before spreading the system across ten.
Write it down so I can leave.
Documentation and handover are part of the build.
