Principal & Staff Software Engineer · Technical Leader · Full-Stack Architect

People-centered engineering leader with 15+ years of architectural leadership (and 25+ years in software engineering) building high-throughput microservices, zero-dependency developer tooling, and resilient multi-tenant platforms across TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, Bun, React, Vue.js, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Redis, and C#/.NET.

• Full-Stack & Distributed Systems Architecture: Multi-tenant SaaS platforms, high-throughput event pipelines (Kafka, Redis distributed locks/semaphores), and browser concurrency (Web Workers).
• Database Engineering & Performance Optimization: PostgreSQL (JSONB, PostGIS, pgvector, GIN/expression indexing) and SQL Server query optimization—routinely reducing multi-hour batch bottlenecks to under two minutes.
• Pragmatic AI & Agentic Tooling: Designing production Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, RAG pipelines, and deterministic developer guardrails.
• Zero-Bloat Software Craftsmanship: Lean, zero-dependency TypeScript/Bun libraries, strict typing, Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), and pragmatic Test-Driven Development (TDD).

• vscode-tailor — Modular VS Code workbench extension featuring an interactive CSV Grid Editor, Rainbow CSV syntax highlighting, and toggleable productivity modules.
• logging — Event-driven TypeScript/Bun logging library with TC39 Stage 3 decorators, AsyncLocalStorage context propagation, and Datadog JSONL formatting.
• csv-lib — Lightweight, zero-dependency RFC 4180 streaming CSV parser and serializer for Bun and modern JavaScript runtimes.
• coliner — YAML/JSON-driven CLI builder with event triggering and smart positional argument assignment for Bun.
• mcp-concept-mem — Model Context Protocol (MCP) server architecture for hierarchical AI agent memory with dynamic typing and self-modifying rules.
• s20 — Spouse 2.0 (s20) CLI time-tracking and reporting toolkit built on Bun and TypeScript.

• Building MCP Servers (4-Part Series):
  • Part 1 — Getting Started with Resources
  • Part 2 — Extending Resources with Resource Templates
  • Part 3 — Adding Prompts
  • Part 4 — Creating Tools
