2012AT&T
- The wall
- NORAD, CASPR, Treev, Business Objects. No APIs. No SDKs.
- The way around
- Headless browser sessions querying them continuously, ETL’d into one model.
LOADING …
Most engineers stop at “there’s no API.”
That’s usually where I start — 26 years of getting inside systems that weren’t built to let anyone in.

THE SIGNATURE · 3 ERAS
The signature
2013VMware
- The wall
- The corporate environment forbids running arbitrary executables.
- The way around
- C# embedded inside an Excel workbook: a custom ribbon, worksheets as screens, the mailbox swept, attachments encoded, exported in Oracle’s own format.
2026Form Engine
- The wall
- No backend access. Not a customer, not a partner. Outside only.
- The way around
- Reverse-engineered the API surface from outside, then built a front end that hot-swaps against their live production system.
14 years, 3 eras of technology, the same move.
5 CASE STUDIES
Told in full.
The situation, the constraint that made it hard, what I built, the dates, and what it produced. Same 5 parts, same order, every time.
THE RECEIPTS
In their words.
Oversee OOM / BOM submittal, ROA, driver, PAM & WA corrections in WesBase.
Responsible for the management of all applicable databases including Wesbase, Siterra, Filenet, ANGELS, and CASPR.
Wesbase 3 and 4
Fifteen people at seven companies still list a system I built in 2012 as a skill on their own profiles. I left in 2013.
I didn’t put any of that there.

The move works anywhere because I’ve been in most of it.
County-scale property-data pipelines. Terrain engines that turn elevation models into printable multicolor solids. A Minecraft mod that coaches speedruns per tick, hand-written WebAssembly behind WebGPU compute shaders, Flutter command centers, a lobby kiosk. My breadth is my depth.
