I'm a Senior Consultant at EY Studio+ in Chicago, working where product delivery, cloud reliability, quality engineering, and applied AI meet. I've helped ship a retail platform across 100+ locations, supported a federal cloud implementation with zero audit findings, and built the observability and release practices that let enterprise teams deploy without a group chat full of prayers.
Outside client work, I design and ship local-first, open-source products in Swift, Rust, Python, and TypeScript. I care about the unglamorous part that starts where the demo ends: clear product decisions, trustworthy behavior, failure handling, documentation, installers, updates, and evidence that the thing actually works.

A native macOS PDF workspace for combining, OCR, editing, annotating, signing, protecting, and exporting documents — all on-device. Your tax returns shouldn't need a round trip to someone else's GPU.
|
A local-first portfolio cockpit that unifies holdings, market data, risk signals, and clear actions, with deterministic analysis and optional AI narration. The math is deterministic. The AI only narrates — it never touches the numbers.
|
|
An auditable football forecasting workbench with sealed pre-match predictions, calibration, and cited AI explanations that never change the numbers. Predictions are sealed before kickoff, so hindsight can't quietly improve them.
|
A local-first travel workspace that turns confirmations and sourced research into readiness actions and a reviewed, shareable trip brief. Turns an inbox full of confirmations into a brief you'd actually hand someone.

| Principle | What it means in practice | |
|---|---|---|
| 🔐 | Local-first by default | Keep user data on-device and make privacy a product property, not a policy page. |
| 🧭 | Evidence before AI | Deterministic systems stay authoritative. AI explains, cites, and assists — it doesn't get a vote on the numbers. |
| 🧪 | Quality is architecture | Design for observability, failure modes, testability, and releases that don't need a hero. |
| 📦 | Ship the whole product | Docs, installers, updates, demos, and release automation. Source code is the easy half. |
Chosen per problem, not per hype cycle.

The short version — LinkedIn has the director's cut.
Let's talk about trustworthy AI, local-first products, quality engineering, or turning a prototype into software people can actually use.
