Sr. Software Engineer

I write code that makes heavy machinery move.

And sometimes I build web apps.

25 years of bridging the gap between complex industrial hardware and modern software. Self-taught. Results-driven. Memphis, TN area.

Expertise

From PLCs to React.

Industrial Automation & Control

PLC programming (BRX), HMI design (Maple Systems), motion control (Delta), SCADA, Modbus, EtherNet/IP. If a machine needs to move with absolute precision in a harsh environment, I write the logic that makes it happen.

Computer Vision & 3D Optimization

Lead developer on a 3D lumber optimization system — scanning logs and calculating the most efficient cutting patterns for maximum yield and minimum waste. Qt/C++, heavy algorithmic work, real-world results.

Modern Web & Full-Stack

React, Next.js, TypeScript, Vercel, Git/GitHub. I build the web infrastructure and digital tools that make all that low-level industrial data visible and useful to the people who need it.

Open Source

Open Source & Current Fixations

When I'm not optimizing sawmills, I'm building tools to solve my own frustrations. Here's what's currently on the bench — all MIT licensed, all in progress.

Ringmaster

Tired of babysitting AI coding agents?

Ringmaster is a filesystem-first workflow engine that keeps them on a leash. It owns the state, verification, retries, and git side effects. Codex is just the performer; Ringmaster owns the circus.

MCP-Sidecar

C++

Build-aware code intelligence for AI agents.

A clangd-powered MCP sidecar server that gives AI coding tools deep, trustworthy intelligence when working in large C++ codebases. Zero-config, SQLite-backed.

Rust

The Matrix client you open before a match.

An opinionated, gamer-first Matrix client built in Rust with a Slint desktop shell. Fast room switching, reliable sync, and practical defaults that favor coordination over clutter.

Notes & Rants

Thoughts on automation, C++, building reliable systems, and whatever else I'm currently annoyed by or interested in.
