Work

Work & experience

I’m Lead Engineer at Untangle and a co-founder of From Seed to Spoon. My work spans building products, connecting business systems, and figuring out how to work well with AI agents.

Lead Engineer at Untangle

My work brings together product decisions, architecture, implementation, testing, and agent orchestration. I spend a lot of time giving agents useful context, reviewing what they produce, and improving the process around them.

More about my work

Ryan Carson built and ran Untangle with AI agents before I joined. I came in to take over engineering and build processes around QA and client handling so Ryan could focus on growing the business.

Business systems

Software & marketing technology

At J & P Park, I worked across a portfolio of e-commerce brands on software development, AI, automation, integrations, and internal tools. That meant connecting storefronts, business data, and the people who used those systems every day.

Carrie and I created From Seed to Spoon to help people grow their own food. Learning to build the app was a big part of how I got here. Park Seed acquired From Seed to Spoon in January 2022.

Carrie & Dale Music

My wife Carrie and I write, record, and play music together.

I play guitar and work on arrangements and production. It’s a creative outlet we’ve had a lot of fun building together.
