I build thingsthat matter.
7+ years turning complex systems into reliable products.
From enterprise telematics to side projects that ship.
The Journey
From mining crypto on a laptop to owning enterprise platforms. Here's how I got here.
John Carroll University
Started pursuing a triple degree — B.S. Computer Science, B.A. Sociology, and an Associate's in Data Science. Where the foundation was built.
Fell Down the Crypto Rabbit Hole
Mined Stellar on a gaming laptop, started accumulating BTC/ETH. Learned wallet hygiene, self-custody, and how decentralized systems actually work under the hood.
MRI Software — First Real Code
Internship building internal tools with Angular and SQL. Learned what production code actually looks like from senior engineers.
Joined Trimble
Started as a software engineer building cloud-based integration platforms. Quickly became the go-to person for FleetConnex — processing 5M+ messages daily.
DeFi Deep Dive & NFT Builds
Active in yield strategies, LP/staking/farming. Built an Ethereum smart contract for an influencer PFP project end-to-end. Learned smart contract development the hard way.
Sole Owner of FleetConnex
Became the sole developer, PM, and customer support for a mission-critical platform. Owned everything from Azure infrastructure to customer calls.
FleetHub & New Ventures
Led vendor integrations for Trimble's next-gen platform. Started Lake Effect Labs with friends — a micro software agency to build and ship fast.
Independent Builder
Went independent. Building Matte, Lock In, OnTheClockMock, and more. Exploring World Mobile nodes and decentralized telecom. Shipping on my own terms.
Selected Work
From enterprise platforms to weekend builds. Click any project to see the story.
Matte

Where I've Worked
From intern to sole product owner. Each role taught me something different about building things that last.
Independent Software Engineer
Independent
Building products independently through Lake Effect Labs — a micro software agency I co-founded to ship fast.
Senior Software Engineer
Trimble Inc.
Owned and operated mission-critical telematics platforms in a 24/7 production environment. Evolved from engineer to sole product owner.
Software Development Intern
MRI Software
First real engineering role. Built internal tools and learned production code practices from senior engineers.
Education
John Carroll University
B.S. Computer Science | B.A. Sociology | Associate's in Data Science
Thoughts
My brain on sticky notes. Drag them around. This is how I think.
The best products are the ones you build because nothing else exists for your problem.
Decentralized telecom is the next frontier. World Mobile is onto something.
Every time I use a bad SaaS tool I think about how I'd rebuild it from scratch.
AI isn't replacing engineers — it's giving the ones who ship fast an unfair advantage.
The best PM training is answering customer support tickets for a year straight.
If your side project doesn't make you stay up too late at least once, you picked the wrong idea.
Vertical SaaS for trades is so underbuilt. Painters, plumbers, roofers — they all deserve better tools.
Every enterprise product is just a series of migrations held together by hope and documentation.
Cleveland will always be home. The lake, the food, the people who don't take themselves too seriously.
