I build geospatial software & data products.

Software engineer and founder. I design and ship geocoding, search, routing, data and ML products - from systems serving billions of geographic features to tools built from the ground up for clients across the US and EU. 8+ years across software engineering, GIS, data science and machine learning.

About

Software engineering at the intersection of code and geography.

My workspace - a laptop showing code beside a glass of tea
Most days: code, maps & tea.

I help businesses turn messy addresses into accurate map locations - so they can deliver, analyze and plan with confidence.

I'm a software engineer specializing in geospatial technologies, location intelligence, and data-driven products. Over 8+ years I've worked across software engineering, GIS, data science and machine learning - helping organizations and clients turn messy data into dependable products and actionable insight.

My work spans geocoding, address parsing & intelligence, routing & optimization, spatial data pipelines, data quality, NLP, machine learning and full-stack development - shipped both inside engineering teams (including planet-scale systems at MapTiler) and directly for clients through my own practice.

I'm the founder of Mesh Solutions, an independent software & data consultancy, and I'm building DeliveryMesh, an optimization and delivery-planning platform for logistics teams - products taken from idea to production.
