Work Better. Sound Human.

From workflow audits to satirical tech storytelling, I help engineering teams thrive.

About Me

I'm a Software Engineer with 10 years of experience who speaks two languages: Code and Storytelling.

  • I use my engineering background to diagnose broken workflows and build automation.
  • I use my creative background to translate complex tech into engaging blogs, satire, and internal culture builders.
Real world experience.
I have worked on software teams that have thrived – and teams that have dived – and I can help you learn from both.
Human centered approach.
I believe in putting people first. By understanding the needs and pain points of your team, we can create solutions that truly resonate.
