Case Studies
Problem, approach, outcome. The throughline is always the same: make the complex thing correct, fast, and competitive.
Reliability for a distributed device network
99.99% uptime · 1000% fulfillment throughput · 85% smaller firmware, 12x faster startup
Stood up an SRE practice and re-architected firmware delivery for a fleet of remote cellular devices, turning costly field failures into 99.99% uptime.
Keeping the lights on for a 20-year-old certificate platform
10x performance improvement · 95-100% fewer deployment incidents · Weeks to hours: feature delivery · 20+ services containerized
Containerized 20+ legacy services, introduced zero-downtime deployments, and cut feature delivery from weeks to hours on a revenue-critical platform that couldn't go down.
Architecting a next-generation certificate platform
200M+ certificates annually · 90% compliance automation · Minutes-to-production deployments · New enterprise offerings launched
Designed and built a modern certificate issuance platform from the ground up, scaled to 200M+ certificates annually with full compliance automation and minutes-to-production deployments.
Universal POS integration for restaurant technology
Millions saved in menu costs · Vendor lock-in eliminated · Acquired by Olo
Built a universal integration layer that freed restaurants from POS vendor lock-in, centralized menu management, and unified delivery platform orders. The technology contributed directly to Olo's acquisition.
Automated data science for enterprise analytics
Constant compute cost per customer · Linear infrastructure scaling · Acquired by Qlik
Built a platform that put predictive analytics in the hands of non-technical users, with scalable pipelines and constant per-customer compute costs. The platform secured venture funding and was acquired by Qlik.
Functional programming workshop for quantitative engineering
Measurable defect reduction · Multi-day hands-on delivery
Delivered a multi-day Haskell workshop to a quantitative engineering team, equipping them to evaluate safer languages for financial systems and measurably reducing defect rates on subsequent projects.
Configuration engine for enterprise recognition platform
Months to days: implementation time · Zero configuration defects · Engineering capacity freed
Built a type-safe configuration engine that cut customer implementation time from months to days, eliminated configuration defects, and freed engineering capacity for feature work.
Automated compliance for regulated lending
Faster go-to-market · Reduced compliance overhead · Accelerated loan approvals
Built secure, automated integrations with government and banking APIs under strict compliance constraints, enabling new lending products with faster go-to-market and reduced audit risk.
Internal analytics platform for ad technology
200% query performance improvement · Self-service dashboards · Acquired by Rakuten
Built a centralized analytics platform that unified fragmented data sources, improved query performance 200%, and gave sales and marketing teams self-service dashboards. Contributed to Rakuten's acquisition.
