About

I’m a senior software engineer at Lumist Labs in Charlotte. Lumist grew out of the AI adoption work at Areté Partners, and with my team I build the products behind it: an executive readiness diagnostic, an agent platform for non-technical teams, a training platform, and BD Pulse, the email-driven business development system the whole firm now runs on.
Before that I spent three years at Duke Energy leading cloud adoption, identity and access modernization, and high-availability backend services, after starting out at Payzer and Unif.io. I studied computer science at UNC Chapel Hill.
Outside work I build apps I actually use, under the Xomware name. Spotify stats, fantasy football tools for my leagues, a lifting tracker, a recipe log. Most run Angular or SwiftUI up front and Python on AWS Lambda behind, with Terraform and GitHub Actions doing the deploys.
