A career built on finding answers no one else could find.

Whether I'm tracing a data-flow bug through a 30-year-old RPG codebase or tracking a family name across three centuries of immigration records, the skill is the same: structured thinking, relentless follow-through, and an eye trained to catch what others miss.

This page exists at the intersection of both worlds — a bridge between the IBM i expertise that's ready to return to the field, and the careful, detail-obsessed thinking that shaped the book.

Ready to go back to Coding work.

30+ years solving mission-critical problems in IBM i environments — and an eye for detail that extends from enterprise code to the written page. Available for part-time and project-based engagements.

Using new software

An early adopter of AI-assisted workflows,

I use Anthropic Claude both as a development partner for code generation, review, and problem-solving

Also, as an editorial collaborator on my published Memoir. The same tool. Two very different disciplines. One consistent standard of precision.
