I lead developer advocacy at Global Payments, where I build developer-experience infrastructure at enterprise scale. That work is the payment APIs, SDKs, and documentation engineers actually reach for. I write here about developer platforms, payments, and AI-assisted engineering.
I also run a small web presence practice for local business owners, covering website build, AEO, and ongoing management.

My vault had a 55-note prompt library. An audit of my own session transcripts found 5 prompts I'd re-typed enough to prove, 4 patterns worth promoting to skills, 2 skills worth demoting back to prompts, and about 40 imported templates I had never used once.
