Backend systems and infrastructure.
I've been writing software for twelve years, mostly backend systems, databases and infrastructure. I'm co-founder and CTO of Moatify and founder of DrunkGiantBirdStudios Inc., the studio behind Styx and Charon. Until June 2026 I was CTO at ConsentKeys and at Petrichor Labs. Outside of software I make records as drunkgiantbird.
Right now most of my time goes into Moatify, an outbound tool for founders. It finds people on the web who'd plausibly want what you're selling, reads up on them, and drafts an email.
Before that I was CTO at ConsentKeys and Petrichor Labs, both privacy companies. At ConsentKeys I built the identity system. Every app gets a different ID for the same person, so two apps can't compare notes and work out it's you. At Petrichor Labs I ran hosting for businesses that need their data kept in Canada. In practice that means a lot of bare metal work, failover drills, patching and monitoring.

I make experimental music between shoegaze and alternative metal as drunkgiantbird. I write, produce, mix and master professionally, and a live band plays the music with me. I DJ too!
