Founder-Level Ownership
I co-founded Dauber and helped build construction-hauling software through ambiguity, customer pressure, engineering tradeoffs, team leadership, and acquisition-level scrutiny.

About
I build software where the real world shapes the architecture.
Most of my best work has been in domains where the problem is not clean at the edges.
Dauber, the construction-hauling software company I co-founded and later sold, was built in one of those domains. We served an industry where dispatch, drivers, jobs, customers, billing, and trust had to line up in the real world, while much of the work still ran through phone calls, paper tickets, spreadsheets, and “where is my truck?” moments. Dauber moved those workflows into software that made them visible, trackable, trustworthy, and easier to operate.
That experience shaped the architecture I still value: clear domain models, CQRS when it fits, event sourcing when history matters, durable workflows, practical integrations, and infrastructure that is boring in the best way. At Dauber, that meant C#/.NET, Azure DocumentDB, Table Storage, event messaging, web and mobile apps, and connecting software to real operations.
I’m interested in applied AI for the same reason. The useful part is not the demo; it is knowing where AI belongs in a workflow, what context it needs, how people verify its output, and how responsibility stays clear when mistakes have a cost.
Successful outcomes take a common shape: understand the domain, model the work, preserve the facts, and build systems people can trust.
- Current Focus
- Applied AI, workflow automation, and software for domains where state, context, and trust matter.
- Recent Roles
- Co-founder of an acquired construction-hauling software company, CTO/VP Engineering, solutions consultant, and hands-on architect.
- Core Stack
- Full-stack .NET and Angular applications, Azure cloud systems, SQL and document databases, event-driven workflows, mobile apps, and domain-driven architecture.
Experience
I build where product, architecture, and operations meet.
My experience has centered on turning ambiguous operations into dependable products: clarifying workflows, modeling the state that actually matters, and shipping systems that hold up when users rely on them daily.
Domain-Driven Systems
I design around the business: clear boundaries, durable workflows, useful history, practical integrations, and state that teams can reason about.
Applied AI With Judgment
I’m focused on where AI belongs in real workflows, what context it needs, how people verify its output, and how responsibility stays clear.
Hands-On Delivery
I work across architecture and implementation, including .NET/C#, Angular, Azure, SQL, document storage, messaging, mobile apps, pipelines, and product decisions.
Demo Project
CQRS RAG Workbench.
A runnable .NET reference project for developers and architects who want to see how RAG behaves inside an application with clear domain boundaries. It processes local files, applies access rules, and lets you ask questions that return secure, grounded answers.
- Run it with a single Docker Compose command.
- See how local files become searchable evidence, filtered results, and grounded answers.
- Use the documented architecture to understand the CQRS boundaries, projections, event journal, outbox, and module rules behind the demo.
