I turn repetitive business work into software that runs without anyone watching it — data platforms that have processed 100,000+ business records, Chrome extensions people open every morning, and AI workflows that answer customers at 3am.

My Journey

From discipline to building software.

The through-line isn't code. It's showing up every day for something that only pays off later — first in uniform, then in training, now in products.

  1. Military

    Where it started

    Learned to operate under pressure, follow a standard, and finish what I start. Everything after this borrowed that habit.

  2. Athlete

    Same trait, new arena

    Years of training taught me the compounding curve: small work repeated daily beats intensity that quits.

  3. Software Engineer

    Learning to ship

    Moved from tutorials to production: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Postgres, and the unglamorous parts — deploys, monitoring, support.

  4. Automation Developer

    Removing manual work

    Built the scrapers, browser extensions and AI workflows that replaced hours of copy-paste for real teams — and found the market by accident.

  5. Founder

    Now

    I run my own products end to end — first line of code to first paying customer, and every support ticket in between.

Decisions, written down.

Case study

Cutting duplicate business records from 1-in-5 to 1-in-50

Exact string matching failed on the first real dataset. What finally worked was normalising aggressively, then matching on geohash proximity plus name distance rather than on any single field.

Architecture

Making a six-hour scrape survive a dropped connection

Long jobs need to be resumable, not fast. Moving to checkpointed queue workers meant a failure costs the last chunk instead of the whole run — and made concurrency safe to raise.

Shipping a Chrome MV3 extension that doesn't get rejected

Manifest V3 killed the patterns most scraping extensions relied on. Notes on service-worker lifecycles, permission scoping, and passing store review the first time.
