// Senior Software Consultancy
Backend systems that scale. Teams that ship. Revenue your CFO will brag about.
I specialize in backend systems — the invisible machinery that separates companies that scale from companies that scramble.
APIs, microservices, data pipelines, distributed systems. Built to handle whatever you throw at them, including your peak traffic you didn't plan for.
I don't just write code — I write code that makes money. Checkout flows, billing systems, growth infrastructure, pricing engines. The stuff that directly moves the number your board cares about.
I've led and grown engineering teams from "we think we might need a backend dev" to "we have a functioning, high-performing org that people don't want to leave."
Most consultants tell you what you want to hear. I tell you what you need to hear — then build the thing that actually fixes it.
I've worked inside enough large organizations to know which rules exist for good reasons and which ones are bureaucratic scar tissue from a project that failed in 2009. I know the difference, and I act accordingly.
My clients keep bringing me back — and letting me operate outside the normal org-chart constraints — because the results speak louder than any process document.
If you need someone to color inside the lines, I'm probably not your person. If you need something built, let's talk.
I optimize for what ships and works, not what looks good in a standup.
The right five people beat the wrong fifteen every time. I've proven this repeatedly.
I'll tell you your architecture is a mess if it's a mess. Then I'll help you fix it.
Teams that give a damn about each other outperform teams that don't. Full stop.

The best software is built by people who care.
The best teams are built by people who listen.
The best results come from being willing to say
"that process is broken, here's a better one."
Not everyone hires me for that. The ones who do
tend to not stop.

ObjectZen is a one-person consultancy with strong opinions about software, teams, and the kind of work worth doing.
I've been writing backend code long enough to have seen every architectural mistake at least twice. I've led teams through hypergrowth, through crises, through the kind of "we have to rewrite everything in 90 days" situations that would make a lesser engineer quit. I didn't quit.
I tend to embed deeply with client organizations — close enough to understand the real constraints, independent enough to tell the truth about them.
The "ObjectZen" name? A nod to object-oriented programming, and to the idea that the best engineering has a certain clarity to it. No unnecessary complexity. No cargo-culted patterns. Just clean, purposeful work.
Drop me a line. Tell me what you're trying to build — or what's broken and needs fixing. No NDAs required for the first conversation.
