I'm a technical architect and U.S. Air Force veteran. After a career in the Air Force, I moved into the corporate world, where my work has spanned systems administration and architecture. More recently, curiosity has carried me into development - not a pivot so much as a natural progression, one that's helped round out how I understand the systems I design and run. I've enjoyed the process enough that it's becoming a genuine hobby - and I love turning "I wish a tool did X" into a tool that actually does X.

I bring an architect's instincts to everything I build: deliberate design, audit trails, reversible workflows, and rules that generalize instead of one-off fixes - I care as much about how something is built as what it does.

• QuerySmith - a Calibre plugin that builds library searches by field, so you never have to memorize the query syntax. Read-only, non-destructive, and friendly to custom columns.
• calibre-metadata-toolkit - a work-in-progress toolkit for enriching, correcting, and validating book metadata at scale, on a careful, gated, review-before-apply pipeline.

Python · Calibre · Git & GitHub — with a soft spot for non-destructive, idempotent workflows.
