About

Musician turned software architect, with a 30-year detour through music tech, mobile apps, and enterprise systems (including 10+ years at IBM).

After graduating from Berklee College of Music, I studied computer music in Paris with folks like Iannis Xenakis, Curtis Roads, and Julio Estrada and helped build software like Finale, Notion, and MasterTracks Pro, tools used by composers and musicians around the world.

These days I lead mobile architecture work at IBM. Along the way I’ve mentored developers, composers, engineers, and career changers of all kinds, especially people whose paths don’t fit neatly into one lane.

If you’re exploring a creative or technical transition (or both), I’d be happy to help. I take on a small number of mentees and shape the experience around whatever would actually be useful to you.
