Principal Engineer, Director, Global Tax Technology + Open Source Contributor · Birmingham, Alabama
I'm a technologist and engineering leader with ~30 years turning business strategy into technical vision — and, increasingly, into working AI systems. Today I'm leading the agentic transformation of the software delivery lifecycle, and proving those patterns in the open through combsmith: an open-source organization that operates like a full software company staffed by AI agents.

If you're working on agentic delivery, engineering transformation, or building teams that grow more capable every quarter, I'd love to compare notes.

| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| car-hunt | Finds, researches, and ranks used Honda/Toyota vehicles by cost per remaining mile, with VIN recall and total-cost-of-ownership lookups. Includes an insurance-claim comp mode that finds high-priced dealer comps for a totalled vehicle. |
