Deliver full-stack web and mobile applications in TypeScript, React, and Node.js across 25+ years in the industry.
Build reliable, data-driven software on PostgreSQL and MySQL that supports business outcomes.

Re-architected timing for Sofie T-Timers by moving calculations from the client to the server: running clocks receive only a zeroTime (future for countdowns, past for stopwatches/timers), paused clocks receive remainingTime, and both update only on state changes—with the client refreshing the display once per second via setTimeout.
Cut timer recalculation from 60/s to 1/s (~98% fewer ticks), substantially reducing frontend workload and enabling new custom timer types for client-specific broadcast workflows.

Delivered company-wide Git talks and built tooling—including pre-commit lint hooks and a branch-rebase conflict finder—to streamline advanced version-control workflows.
Configured GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, AWS CodeBuild, Travis, and Jenkins for trigger-based test pipelines; contributed a fix to the original GitHub hub CLI.

Engineered redash-loader to export Redash BI queries and dashboards as version-controlled YAML, SQL, and JSON—enabling tracked, branchable, and portable analytics configuration across environments.
Built YAML import/export for Bitfocus Companion to manage live A/V and streaming setups
Optimized Docker images to runtime-only binaries and orchestrated multi-container stacks with docker-compose.

I direct and vision-mix live multi-camera video for church YouTube Live streams and in-room IMAG displays; Over 25 years of volunteer A/V experience including camera operating and sound engineering.

Contributed extensively to early MusicBrainz, OpenStreetMap, and Stack Overflow communities.

Delivered major Sofie TV automation features for the BBC and SVT while contracted through Superfly.
My Superfly contract is coming to its conclusion—I am now looking for my next project. Feel free to reach out to discuss broadcast automation, full-stack TypeScript, or developer tooling.
