01 / What I can build with you
Whether you’re starting an app, extending an existing product, or connecting software to the physical world, bring in 20+ years of software and systems experience, from embedded interfaces to consumer apps.
Turn a product idea into an intuitive iOS or Android app, with thoughtful interfaces, dependable architecture, and a clear path to release.
Make third-party lighting a natural part of your product. Build on experience with smart-light ecosystems, wireless devices, and real-time control.
Bring apps, streaming media, and connected hardware together. Explore the technical possibilities through a focused prototype, then develop the experience around your users.
Built for your team
Translate user and business needs into clear requirements, technical constraints, and a focused first release.

02 / The person behind the work
President & CEO
NRTHRNLIGHTS, L.L.C.
I’m a software engineer and lifelong tinkerer with more than 20 years of experience connecting intuitive interfaces to complex systems. My work spans iOS and Android apps, wireless devices, and embedded entertainment systems.
Before and alongside building NRTHRNLIGHTS, I worked on in-flight entertainment at Rockwell Collins and Panasonic Avionics, and developed an iOS app and custom Bluetooth LE interface for EmazingLights’ performance gloves. Those experiences shaped how I approach requirements, hardware integration, and collaboration across engineering teams.
Since 2014, I’ve built NRTHRNLIGHTS products from initial idea through design, development, marketing, release, and direct customer support. That ownership brings a practical understanding of both the engineering and the business behind an app.
I’m especially interested in IoT, smart-home technology, streaming media, and AI integration. Hands-on experimentation—including 3D printing and design—keeps me exploring new ways for software and physical products to work together.
