I am a USCG Master (1600 Ton), Python Developer, and Ham Radio Operator (W1TMG). I specialize in maritime operations, custom macOS software, and digital radio communications.
My career has been defined by mastering complex systems—whether that's navigating 1600-ton vessels through Nantucket Sound or architecting Python applications for regulatory compliance.
With 2,000+ days at sea, I bring operational discipline to everything I do. When I'm not on the bridge or coding, you can find me on the HF bands as W1TMG or capturing the night sky with my Nikon.

Extensive experience piloting large vessels in congested waterways. Expert knowledge of local pilotage, weather patterns, and tidal currents.
Specialist in safety drills, hazardous material storage, and vessel documentation.
Developed desktop tools for crew time-tracking and shipyard repair logging, designed to run reliably without internet access at sea.
Expertise in packaging Python scripts into native macOS executables (.app) for easy distribution to end users.
Capturing maritime landscapes and the night sky with Nikon DSLRs.
Active on HF bands combining radio frequency engineering with software defined radio (SDR). I specialize in weak-signal digital modes like FT8 which allow for global communication under challenging conditions.
Whether you need a vessel delivered, a Python script, or a sked on 40 meters.
