Software Architect
Mercer

I'm a software architect focused on designing enterprise systems where integrations, identity, and reliability are first-class concerns.

Creator of NodeLLM, an opinionated architectural layer for using Large Language Models in Node.js. I work primarily with Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and React.js, building systems that integrate deeply with external partners, identity providers, and LLMs — without compromising reliability or security.

Currently at Mercer, working on the Lighthouse platform—an enterprise system where authentication, integrations, and security are non-negotiable. I've also worked on platforms like Beema.ae and TryCarriage, where I learned that most production issues stem from architectural decisions, not code quality.

"Most bugs I've seen were architectural, not algorithmic."
