I build large software systems and spend most days observing how technology, people, and incentives collide in the messy real world. I care about clarity, first principles, strong design patterns, and decisions that hold up under pressure. I'm drawn to the quiet work of understanding a problem fully, asking uncomfortable context questions, and staying with the complexity until the story makes sense.

Outside of work, I'm a mother, a lifelong learner, and a partner. I have a loving husband who inspires me and guides me, both in technology and in life. Together, we think deeply, challenge assumptions, and keep each other grounded while navigating ambition, responsibility, and care.

This website is where I write. Essays, notes, and working logs about systems, leadership, AI, modernization, execution, learning, and the human side of building things. The writing here is not marketing and not performance. It's thinking in public. Clear when possible. Honest when not.

This site also runs alongside the BVDLC book that Jarvis and I are finishing, so you'll find field notes, arguments, and lessons that later evolve into more formal work at bvdlc.ai.
