How I work
ABOUT
Before I wrote software, I spent eight-plus years running restaurant and entertainment operations across Los Angeles, Portland, and San Diego — hands-on with the spreadsheets, schedules, and numbers that kept the doors open. That's where I learned to respect real-world systems: a report that's wrong loses money the same night.
So I build the way I'd want a system built for my own business. I'd rather the software itself prevent mistakes than count on everyone to remember the rules. And when something breaks, I find the real cause and fix that — instead of rebuilding from scratch.
