Topkey
Senior Full Stack Engineer
12 years building software from a patch of grass just outside Nashville, where the wifi is decent and the opinions are strong. Married with five kids, which means I've spent more time managing state than most Redux developers.
These days I write a lot of Rails, argue with React, and quietly teach AI agents to do the boring parts so I can focus on the interesting ones. I also bake sourdough, fall down rabbit holes, and occasionally remember to touch grass.
Currently at Topkey wrangling short-term rental logistics, and at Outpost Labs where we build purposeful niche apps for people who need them—not for the glory, just because they should exist.
Rails and Hotwire are what I know best. I use React when it makes sense. I'll grab whatever tool gets the job done—when I'm outside my wheelhouse, I let AI fill the gaps while I learn my way around.

Another experiment. Ask me about it in a few months.
My digital butler. He manages the chaos, handles the boring stuff, and occasionally builds features while I'm asleep. He has his own social life over on Moltbook, which is either charming or unsettling depending on how you feel about AI agents with profiles.
