I make complex systems understandable—and operable.

My primary professional role is Director of I.T. at C.A. Curtze Co., a regional foodservice distributor. I lead internal software development, infrastructure, systems modernization, and technology operations across a business where reliability affects warehousing, purchasing, sales, delivery, and customer service.

That environment has shaped how I build: systems must work around real operations, legacy constraints, security boundaries, and people who depend on them every day.

TradeBroker and the open-source projects presented here are independent work. They share the same preference for systems that are operationally grounded, understandable, self-hosted where practical, and designed to survive imperfect environments—not merely work in a demo.
