About me
I spent 14 years bootstrapping a SaaS platform to 3,000+ customers, processing $48M through Stripe, and keeping a production Rails system running smoothly through years of change.
Before that, I worked for a decade with startups and agencies across Australia and New Zealand, helping small teams ship ambitious products under real constraints.
Today, I partner with thoughtful teams building the next stage of their product — bringing calm technical leadership, strong engineering craft, and sustainable execution.
How I can help
I partner with growing product teams to provide senior full-stack engineering support — primarily in Ruby on Rails, relational systems, integrations, and modern front-end work.
- Stabilise and modernise Rails platforms as complexity rises
- Architect and deliver new product work end-to-end
- Own complex integrations (payments, scheduling, operational workflows)
- Improve quality and velocity through strong engineering discipline
- Provide calm technical leadership and mentorship
Let's grab 15 minutes
I'd love to hear what you're working on and share a concrete plan for where I could add value over the next 4–6 weeks.
No lengthy process — just a quick conversation to see if fractional support could help you move faster as you continue to grow.
