Waypoint 01 // The Road
I'm an engineering executive, entrepreneur, and frequent traveler. I build teams and software, read widely, and like a good question almost as much as a road I haven't driven.
Three US road trips and four months on the road have not cured my interest in road trips.

Waypoint 03 // The Observatory
It's a waste to drift through life without intention. You make yourself through your actions, so choose to be someone worth being.
How I lead
Name assumptions, inspect the system, and change the plan when evidence disagrees.
Define success before acting, then use results to improve—not to decorate a story.
Say the hard thing clearly, listen for what I missed, and leave people with agency.
Four departures in four years at Oracle; a pipeline of engineering managers grown at RedShelf.
Russell's essay is my favorite: vast, stark imagery, and a case for caring about one another in a universe that makes no promises.
Waypoint 04 // The Archive
Travel, books, music, questions, and work in progress.
Shelf 01
Three road trips across the US, four months on the road in total. Road trips in Greece and India, too. Between trips, I climb, bike, and swim. An open road and somewhere new ahead is about my perfect day.
Shelf 02
One or two books a week. Max Gladstone for fantasy unlike anything else I’ve read. Jim Butcher for mysteries steeped in magic that grab hold and don’t let go. Isaac Asimov for wildly imaginative visions of the future.
Shelf 03
Chicane, The Midnight, and ODESZA are frequent listens. The radio plays an original score generated in your browser. Press M to toggle it.
Shelf 04
I read philosophy, especially epistemology and ethics, and write essays. Lately, two questions occupy me: Does agent-written code do what we intended? How do we check it for defects? Getting the intent right and verifying the implementation are separate problems.
Shelf 05
I’m building Job Hunter, an open-source agent workflow for matching jobs and tailoring resumes. I also maintain a Job Scraper fork and have submitted changes upstream. These projects let me test agent workflows, context, and evaluations—not just read about them.
Waypoint 05 // Orbit
If you want to compare ideas, build something, or talk engineering leadership, I'd like to hear from you.
Docking // PWEP Consulting
The station ahead is my consulting practice: AI adoption, engineering organization assessments, and leadership coaching.
