Hello, I'm Dalton.

At MAG Interactive, I work across developer tooling and platform engineering: improving local workflows, build and deployment systems, environments, observability, automation, and shared framework services used by multiple product teams. I focus on removing friction and hiding unnecessary complexity so engineers can deliver dependable software with confidence.

AI is changing how I work, but the fundamentals still matter. I use it alongside test-driven development, deterministic automation, code review, static analysis, and clear guardrails. I also modernise legacy systems safely, introducing testable boundaries and reducing coupling while they remain in production.

Over more than a decade in technology, I've worked across IT operations, industrial software, music education, and mobile games. That range has made me adaptable and pragmatic. I do my best work hands-on, collaborating across teams, learning from others, and sharing what I know.
