How I Work

Philosophy

Simple solutions to complex problems. Best code is no code. When there is code — automate, reproducible, idempotent.

Understand first — I don't start until I understand the problem
Data first — Most problems become clearer when you look at the data
SQL first — Delegate work to the database where it makes sense
POC first — Working proof of concept fast, often same-day
Do it right the first time — The second chance might not come
Domain deep-dive — I invest time learning the business; context leads to better solutions
Details matter — Spotting issues before they become problems; while others talk, I deploy
End-to-end ownership — I see problems through from discovery to production and beyond

Simplicity over cleverness — Write code your future self will thank you for
Correctness matters — Especially with data; get it right or the house of cards falls
Minimal infrastructure — Don't run what you don't need
Pragmatic tech choices — Bring new technology only when needed, not because it's fancy

Direct — Clarity and honesty over politics
Async-friendly — Demos, screenshots, SQL, and data samples; show, don't tell
Cross-functional — Comfortable with product, sales, data science, and ops
Low ego — The best idea wins, regardless of where it comes from
