Product Engineer · Tennessee
The useful middle
I work best while the wind is still shifting.
Across interface, service, data, and infrastructure, I find the shape of the problem and carry the system through production.

02 / Operating range
I'm a full-stack product builder for work that does not fit neatly into a ticket yet. I can find the shape of the problem, make the interface legible, and carry the system through production.
My background spans regulated fintech, reusable product platforms, operational software, and AI-assisted engineering. I care about the seams: the places where product intent, technical constraints, and human behavior meet.
03 / Selected products
A small selection of products. Each turns a messy, social workflow into a clear next action.
Booking an orchestra is a chain of people, dates, offers, and answers. Chairs gives personnel managers one calm place to move that chain forward.
Managers create gigs, add dates, build rosters, send booking requests, and track responses. Musicians can accept or decline from a direct link, without creating an account first.
Church work is personal, local, and often spread across paper, inboxes, and memory. Lutheran.app makes the week legible without turning community into administration.
One shared system for ministries, calendars, service assignments, directories, reminders, and paper-to-app sign-ups—designed around what needs attention and what comes next.
Hosts run events, rounds, reveals, and scoring from a dedicated console. Teams join on their phones, choose a decade, claim a magic number, and follow the live leaderboard.
04 / Selected outcomes
Marketplace
Designed and delivered alternative-investment marketplace workflows, including compliance and KYC systems where clear state, traceability, and trust are part of the product.
$65M
Contributed product engineering to an investment product through a $65M acquisition, connecting investor-facing experiences to the regulated systems underneath.
AI
Helped turn AI-assisted development from isolated experimentation into shared patterns, working examples, and practical team habits.
Platform
Built reusable frontend infrastructure and design-system patterns so product teams could share interaction, accessibility, and implementation decisions.
05 / Working method
Start with the person, the decision, and the thing that can go wrong—not the requested artifact.
Prototype enough of the full system to learn where the product and technical assumptions break.
Extract the repeated decisions, keep ownership clear, and make the next version less expensive than the first.
