TJ has spent almost 2 decades building resilient software systems, from scaling SaaS platforms to modernizing government infrastructure, and enjoys designing tools that help developers and teams work more effectively. He lives near Cleveland, Ohio with his wife and daughter, where weekends often mean hiking local trails, cheering (sometimes suffering) through Cleveland sports, or gathering friends around a backyard bonfire. When it is time to recharge, the family loves hitting the road to discover new places, always with snacks packed and playlists ready.
