About Ian
Principal-level Java engineer specializing in enterprise platform architecture for the life sciences industry.
I'm a software engineer with a passion for building systems that matter. I've spent the better part of a decade in enterprise life sciences software, working at the intersection of complex technical problems and real-world impact — the kind of work where what you build actually affects how medicines reach patients.
I believe good software is a form of craftsmanship. I care about getting the details right, thinking through the hard trade-offs, and building things that hold up over time. Outside of code I'm drawn to the same principles — whether I'm restoring a corner of my 1880 home, playing guitar, or working through a chess problem, I tend to approach things with the same tenacity I bring to engineering.
I'm an advocate for people — colleagues, users, and anyone who interacts with the systems I build. Technology should improve lives, and I take that seriously.
Portfolio
A collection of the work I'm most proud of — systems designed with intention, problems solved with care, and a few things built just for the love of building.
