I don't believe in "Move Fast and Break Things." I believe in Governance over Chaos. In an era of "Vibe Coding," the priority isn't just user experience, it's System Survival. I don't just write code to satisfy requirements. I enforce architectural sovereignty to ensure your platform doesn't collapse the moment traffic spikes.

This is me.

Hi, I'm Scott

I am dedicated to turning structural chaos into sovereign systems. I specialize in rescuing high-stakes Brownfield codebases that have been crippled by unchecked AI generation and technical debt. I don't just patch bugs; I rebuild the foundations that ensure your platform doesn't collapse under load.

My approach prioritizes Governance over Vibes. I engineer for stability and resilience, not just speed. By enforcing strict architectural protocols, forensic documentation, and Human-in-the-Loop Governance, I deliver systems that survive the real world—not just the "Happy Path."
