01 / About

My work sits where engineering meets customer support: building software that works, and supporting the people who use it.

At dotCMS I manage an engineering team and lead customer support — translating between what gets built and what customers actually need, and keeping both sides moving.

That same instinct led me to found triippii.app, where I'm building a place for travelers to find and connect with each other. Away from work, I play guitar and keep up with sports.
