Engineering Beyond Software

Creative projects that showcase the same engineering mindset and attention to detail I bring to digital platforms and enterprise architecture.

Treehouse Builder

Treehouse Builder

Sep 2024

During the month between working at Sitecore and Altudo, and with the help of Justin Vogt, I was able to build a treehouse for my children Marty and Caroline.

Engineering Highlights

4-season weatherproofing and insulation for year-round use
Structural engineering for 12-foot elevated framework stability
Custom 8'×8' construction with integrated windows and door
Hand-crafted ladder and deck systems for safe access
Vibrant blue and yellow color scheme designed with children in mind
Complete electrical planning and safety considerations

Engineering Philosophy

Built in response to a heartfelt request from my children, this project demonstrates the same principles I apply to enterprise software: thoughtful planning, quality construction, user-centered design, and building things that last. Whether it's cloud architecture or backyard engineering, the mindset remains the same.

Building Things That Matter

From enterprise platforms serving millions to treehouses delighting children, I believe in applying engineering excellence to everything I build.
