Financial Systems Architect
Most accountants run reports. I design the systems that generate insights in real-time. From Firebase-powered dashboards to automated close processes, I treat financial infrastructure like a product — built for users, optimized for speed, documented for scale.
Proof Points:
- Designed real-time financial dashboards that gave founders visibility without slowing them down
- Automated month-end close processes, reducing time from 5 days to 8 hours
- Built custom integrations between accounting, ops, and product systems

CFO for Builders
I connect the dots between finance, product, and operations. My job isn't just to track the numbers — it's to help teams understand what the numbers mean and what to do next. I speak both CFO and builder fluently.
Proof Points:
- Built financial models that predicted runway 6 months out with 95% accuracy
- Designed executive dashboards that drove 3 strategic pivots in a Series A company
- Partnered with product and ops to align roadmap decisions with cash flow reality

Dad Mode
I don't do busy work. I build things that create real impact — systems that save time, tools that solve problems, products that bring families together. Whether it's architecting a financial close process or building an educational game for my kids, I care about craft and legacy.
Proof Points:
- Built Cassette (family video scrapbook app) to preserve memories
- Co-designing Neighborly (kids' cozy game teaching social-emotional skills) with my wife
- Created Path V2 (private social app for close friends) to maintain meaningful connections

The PNW shaped how I work — collaborative, unpretentious, and outdoor-reset-ready. I value substance over flash, strong coffee over weak strategy, and teams that prioritize getting it right over getting it done fast.

The Early Adopter
I don't wait for the perfect tool before I start building. I prototype fast, iterate based on feedback, and learn by doing. Whether it's Firebase, Phaser.js, or a new financial modeling framework — I adapt quickly.
Philosophy: Ship, learn, improve. Repeat.
