The food-as-medicine space
still needs people who've
actually touched the food.
I started in restaurant kitchens and large-scale production facilities. Fifteen years of operations later, I build the technology, programs, and research that connect clinical nutrition to the people who need it. I also ship software without writing code, which still surprises me a little.
This is where I put the work that doesn't fit on a résumé.
Food-as-Medicine
This is where I spend my days. I've worked across the full depth of it: program design, partner networks, referral systems, clinical workflows, API integrations, research, and the operational work that connects healthcare organizations to nutrition services at scale. I came into this from kitchens (small restaurants, large production facilities, designing and opening new concepts) and stayed because the problem is real, the funding is growing, and the space still needs people who've actually touched the food.
Clinical nutrition programs need operators who understand the food, the tech, and the people between them. That's what I do.
Building
I've gotten increasingly interested in what non-technical people can actually own in product development now that natural language tools have changed the math. I build apps to learn, to solve problems I care about, and to get closer to ideas I think could move this space forward. Three evenings for a planning tool. A week for a full browser game. The projects section has the details, but the short version is: I think in systems, I ship, and I'm paying close attention to where this is going.
I'm paying a lot of attention to non-technical product management and what natural language development makes possible for people like me.
The Rest
Outside of work I write and play music, cook for family and friends, and spend most of my free time with my wife, son, and a 13-pound cockapoo who is absolutely certain she's a German Shepherd.
