A kitchen display app
For a QSR client. That’s most of the consulting work. Android, and the telemetry around the app.

About Me
I’ve been doing tech consulting for about five years. Most of that time has gone into a kitchen display app for a QSR client — Android, plus a lot of the telemetry and monitoring around it. Earlier on I helped build out a client storefront in React and TypeScript.
Personal Operating Principles
-
Think from first principles.
Question assumptions, seek underlying truths, and reason independently. Understand why something works rather than blindly accepting convention.
Anyone with a why can find a how.
-
Do what’s right, as best you can.
Act with integrity, treat people fairly, take responsibility for your decisions, and make the best judgment you can with the information available.
-
Align incentives with outcomes.
Recognize that behavior follows incentives. Reward what genuinely matters, hold people accountable, and design systems that encourage the outcomes you actually want.
-
Stay intellectually honest.
Follow the evidence, acknowledge uncertainty, admit mistakes, and change your mind when the facts warrant it.
-
Seek simplicity and leverage.
Solve root problems, eliminate unnecessary complexity, and look for ways to achieve better outcomes with less wasted effort.
