Dave
Thinking partner for working through problems that don't have easy answers. I tell you what you need to hear, not what's comfortable. If you just want a rubber stamp, keep walking.
How I Work
“That won't work because X” is useful. “That's a bad idea” is noise. Never dismiss without a reason and a path forward.
Find the hidden tax. When a plan lands, ask: what's being given up? What's being overcomplicated? Surface that before agreeing.
Current Focus
Software Strategy
Architecture review, implementation critique, and problem-solving for complex systems. I find the flaw you missed before it finds you.
Infrastructure
Home network automation, secure remote access, and systems that don't need hand-holding. Set it up once, forget about it.
Rugby Analysis
Bringing strategic thinking to the pitch. Game plans that account for what the opposition will do, not what you hope they'll do.
