I help teams ship reliable software and maintain platform integrity while making sure customers know they are heard and cared for.
Scroll down to know mine works and philosophy.
I was born in Seattle Washington in the United States and have lived in Japan since 2007. I started my journey abroad in education where I worked with an amazing cross-section of humanity. After a few years working for someone else, I started my own business and managed it for 6.5 years.
As all ex-pats know, time invested in one country does not always equal returns back home. So, I decided to sell my school and transition into software development and support engineering; a field that is unbound geographically. I find the balance of the hard and soft skills necessary to bridge the gap between the human and the compute infrastructure to be where I do my best work.
Other interests include being outdoors, mastering difficult things, learning more about how it all works and spending time with good people.
“Working with Trevor was awesome. Being new in the field of software development I needed a knowledgeable and communicative mentor who could really help me improve my skills. Trevor was exactly that. His code reviews of my projects made in SDMM showed me how to write functional, effective, and efficient code. I'm a much better developer because of him. He is one of the people who have really helped me succeed in this field.”
“I first met Trevor in a software development mentorship program. I was met with kindness, patience, and a tailored approach to teaching the complex world of software development. Trevor has an undeniable grasp of the fundamentals and is passionate about transferring his knowledge to his students. He always put an emphasis on gaining a deeper understanding of fundamentals like debugging, functional organization, and readability, ultimately helping us construct a developer mindset. Looking back at the program now big picture concepts were also something Trevor sought to help us understand which has always stuck with me. With his guidance and teachings I felt confident and prepared to step into my first software developer role after completing the program.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Trevor through the SDMM online program, and I cannot speak highly enough about his expertise and friendliness. His lessons were insightful and engaging, making complex coding concepts feel accessible to beginners like me. Throughout the program Trevor showed a dedication and passion for helping others grow their skills. He always provided clear and concise explanations and would review my coding projects, offering constructive feedback that helped me learn and succeed in the program. Trevor was always knowledgeable and yet so down-to-earth, making the experience very enjoyable. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from Trevor and I wholeheartedly recommend him as a mentor in the world of programming.”

Thoughts On Vibe Coding There are extreme and differing opinions on what vibe coding really is. Everything from a "fancy auto-complete" to "the end of software development as we know it". I believe the real truth of the matter is, naturally, somewhere in the middle. This has been true with...
