Building reliable customer platforms at enterprise scale

I work across data, messaging, and internal platforms to make sure customer-facing systems are observable, governable, and resilient. The work usually lives between product, marketing, engineering, and operations.

Most of my projects start when something is fragile, opaque, or manual and end when teams can ship changes without fear.

Platforms I’ve owned or operated

Email & Messaging

Deliverability, suppression logic, list hygiene, preference centers, and campaign guardrails. Built to survive real traffic and real mistakes.

Safer Excel Segmentation

Customer Data

Segment, Tealium, mParticle-style architectures. Event contracts, identity stitching, downstream activation into marketing and service tools.

Internal Infra

Dashboards, admin tooling, and operational workflows so non-engineers can move fast without breaking things.

Big lessons from (small) dashboards

Customer Support Systems

Routing logic, enrichment, lifecycle signals, and automation between product, CRM, and support platforms.

How I tend to work

I start by mapping data flows end to end, then add controls where users are likely to make mistakes. I care a lot about defaults, failure modes, and making the right thing the easy thing.

What teams usually bring me in for

“We need to scale this, but we’re scared to touch it.”

“Marketing, product, and support all see different numbers.”

“We ship fast, but incidents keep happening.”

Approach

Beyond the core platforms, I explore practical guides, experiments, and lessons learned from real-world projects. My goal is to make operations predictable, repeatable, and visible for everyone involved.

If a system is complicated, opaque, or risky, I aim to simplify it while keeping it reliable. Think of this as a compilation of lessons you can actually apply.
