Senior Engineering Manager · Landlord Tech

Hands-on · Remote team (US + Philippines)

I run engineering and I still ship code. Architecture, delivery, and day-to-day engineering with a distributed team across the US and the Philippines.

Core product systems in the property space. Stack there is Java / Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and React with TypeScript. Prefer calm systems and clear ownership over heroics.

Health Professionals app · Landlord Tech

Django 5 · PostgreSQL · OpenSearch

Also own and ship the Health Professionals (HP) application: Django 5, PostgreSQL, and OpenSearch. Same team, different stack — keep the boundaries honest.

Hardware → software bridge

Navy electronics → semiconductor test / imaging hardware → full-stack & cloud

Started in Navy electronics. Moved into semiconductor test hardware — imaging and test systems in the Micron-era context — where the hardware and the software had to agree or nothing shipped. The useful habit stuck: measure, verify, keep the feedback loop short.

That path still shows up in how I design software systems and how I coach engineers.

When the fit is right

Architecture, code review, AWS operations, teaching engineers to lead. APIs and apps across Java/Spring Boot, Python/Django, and Node.js; React/TypeScript fronts; infrastructure that stays boring on purpose. I jump in and get busy when the problem is real and the ownership is clear.

AI practice in the repo

Current tooling

Claude Code where the code lives. An AI builder that can take a task through to a PR — I still read every diff. Grok Bot for the work around the work. Useful when it shortens the loop; discarded when it doesn’t.
