Engineer,
Builder, Maker.
25+ years building systems, tools, and things that work.
I'm a software engineer based in Aynor, SC with 25+ years building production application and data systems — full-stack platforms, ETL pipelines, warehouse-first analytics, and developer tools. I do principal-level consulting through Concept Cache LLC, web design and development through Golden Town Digital, and run an original art and goods shop called Regret Egret Originals.
I also ship independent developer tools under the Gnome ecosystem — SQL Gnome, Diff Gnome, and Hire Gnome — and use AI-assisted development workflows as a force multiplier while keeping architecture and production quality firmly under human control.

What I Do
Principal-level full-stack and data platform engineering for production systems. ETL pipelines, warehouse-first analytics, BI platforms, application development, and developer tooling — all executed directly, no junior handoffs.
