Human-centered infrastructure.

I’m Ian. I love being in the room with the people who have the problem, building infrastructure, developer tools, and interactive systems around what they actually need.

I enjoy applying my technical skills in business environments, helping teams improve how they work and turn their ideas into measurable results.
