About Me

More Than Just Code

Professional Life

I work as an Software Integration Architect at IBM, where I focus on connecting customer software systems and making them work together seamlessly. My main professional interests revolve around software integration, automation, and performance engineering. There's something deeply satisfying about taking complex, disconnected systems and creating elegant solutions that work.

Recently, I've been diving deep into the fascinating worlds of AI and Bitcoin. Both fields represent incredible technological shifts that are reshaping how we think about intelligence, value, and the future of human interaction with technology.

The Creative Side

Like many developers, I have a collection of side projects—none of which are ever truly "finished." 😄 It's not about completion, really. It's about exploration, learning, and the joy of building something new. Each unfinished project teaches me something different, whether it's a new framework, a different approach to solving problems, or just the satisfaction of making something work.

Beyond The Screen

When I'm not immersed in code, you'll find me with a guitar in my hands, working through a new song or just enjoying the meditative quality of playing music. There's a beautiful parallel between writing code and making music—both require patience, creativity, and the ability to see patterns and structures that others might miss.

I'm also passionate about basketball. There's something about the strategic thinking, the split-second decisions, and the teamwork that mirrors the collaborative nature of software development. Plus, it keeps me physically active in a world where it's easy to spend all day behind a screen.

Above all, I cherish time with my family and tending to our garden. These grounding activities remind me that while technology is fascinating, the simple pleasures of growing things and nurturing relationships are what truly matter. There's wisdom in watching something grow from a seed—it teaches patience and the value of consistent, daily care.

Let's Connect

I believe the best conversations happen when people with different perspectives come together to share ideas. Whether you're interested in discussing the latest developments in AI, sharing thoughts about system architecture, or just want to chat about music or gardening, I'd love to hear from you.

The easiest way to reach me is through any of my social networks. I try to keep the conversation going across platforms, and I'm always interested in meeting new people who share similar interests or can teach me something new.
