Now

Last updated April 2026.

I’m running Cohort — a small, facilitated peer group for engineering leaders. Same people for the duration. Just practitioners helping each other figure it out.

I help run RefactorGVL, a 501(c)(3) non-profit supporting the Upstate South Carolina tech community through events, education, and scholarships.

I speak at conferences and meetups about testing, async frameworks, and engineering practice. Past talks.

Books

The Laws of Software Engineering (coming soon)

Conway’s Law. Brooks’ Law. Gall’s Law.

You may have heard of these invoked before. They’ve been articulated across the decades in books and blogs and conference talks. They are in the DNA and culture of software engineering — sayings, proverbs, wisdom that have stood the test of time.

This book is a compilation of that wisdom.
