How I work

Scope, then build: Every engagement starts with a focused discovery call. Together we define the problem, map the architecture, and set milestones before a single line of code is written.
Transparent by default: You get a staging environment from day one. Weekly check-ins, async updates, and full access to the codebase. No black boxes.
Ship fast, ship right: Focused sprints with working deliverables, so you see progress as it happens instead of waiting months for a reveal.
Partnership, not a ticket queue: You work directly with the person building your software. I learn your domain, question assumptions, and push for what works, even when it differs from the spec.

Who you'll work with

I built Arclight so I could skip the layers and do what I'm good at, which is solving hard problems with code. When you hire Arclight, you get me.

I've been building software for over 15 years, from .NET enterprise platforms to computer vision pipelines to full-stack web applications. I came up through digital design, which gave me an intuitive feel for image processing, visual systems, and how pixels become data. Along the way I've shipped production CV systems, built real-time analytics dashboards, and modernized legacy codebases that everyone else was afraid to touch.

None of that matters if you can't ship. What I optimize for is working code in production, doing what it's supposed to do, delivered on a timeline I was honest about.

My process

The same four steps from the first conversation to production.

We talk about your project, goals, and timeline, and whether we're a fit. There's no sales pitch.

We define the architecture, milestones, and deliverables. You get a clear proposal with transparent pricing before any work begins.

Development happens in focused sprints. You get a staging environment from day one, with weekly check-ins and full visibility.

I deploy to production, monitor performance, and provide 30 days of post-launch support. Part-time retainers available for ongoing work.

Project-based engagements and part-time retainers. No full-time contracts.
