Beyond the Code

While I spend my weekdays architecting scalable systems and leading engineering teams, my personal time is devoted to the things that keep me grounded and inspired. Life is about balance—between challenge and relaxation, adventure and comfort, achievement and appreciation.

Mountain Explorer

Weekends find me conquering trails from Mount Tamalpais to Zion, Utah. There's nothing like the altitude and fresh air to clear the mind and recharge the spirit.

Family First

Husband and father—my greatest role. Whether exploring trails together or enjoying quality time at home, family is the foundation of everything I do.

Culinary Adventurer

Bay Area foodie with a passion for Mediterranean, Italian, and spicy Mexican cuisine. Always on the hunt for the next hidden gem or farm-to-table experience.

Weekend Wanderer

My weekend philosophy: elevation or elevation. Either at 3,000 feet enjoying mountain views, or savoring an exquisitely prepared meal at a fine restaurant.

Philosophy

I believe the best leaders bring their whole selves to work—not just their technical expertise, but the lessons learned from life's adventures. The patience developed on a challenging trail, the curiosity fostered by exploring new cuisines, and the empathy cultivated through family life all make me a better engineer, architect, and leader. After all, solving complex technical problems isn't so different from finding your way on an unmarked trail—both require persistence, adaptability, and the wisdom to know when to forge ahead and when to take a different path.
