I'm a full-stack software engineer specializing in enterprise-scale applications. My strongest work is in backend architecture and distributed systems, paired with the same deliberate care for crafting efficient, intuitive UIs. My ethos: keep systems simple and decoupled.
My deepest expertise lies in the JVM ecosystem—building with Spring Boot across Java and Kotlin—alongside Go and AWS serverless architectures. On the frontend, I complement the backend with React and TypeScript. I'm an engineer first, so picking up a new language or framework is rarely the hard part.
My engineering path started a bit less formally. As a teenager, I taught myself to build websites—designing and selling apparel online during the recession. That's where I got hooked on building for the web, and I've been doing it in some form ever since.
Having worked in hands-on IT before pivoting fully into software, I'm just as comfortable helping people work through complex problems face-to-face as I am designing efficient, scalable database schemas or deploying applications to the cloud.
While I work full-stack, I am happiest diving deep into backend architecture, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure. Currently, that looks like building specialized tools for commodity trading and spearheading the migration of a legacy international platform into a modern, multi-tenant SaaS.
Above all, I'm a fan of simple, pragmatic solutions that actually ship.
Core engineer on the SaaS 2.0 modernization, migrating a legacy international marketplace into a multi-tenant platform, contributing to architecture and design reviews, and building the tenant-isolation model on PostgreSQL row-level security to ensure 100% data boundary integrity across enterprise tenants.
Set the architecture and technical direction for a Spring Boot + React billing portal, mentored student developers, and provisioned the on-prem Ubuntu environment alongside GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines.
Backend work on an enterprise U.S. Patent & Trademark Office application. Cut response times by 25–50% on the slowest endpoints through async processing and MySQL query and index tuning.
Profiled and optimized high-traffic REST endpoints on a wellness platform serving 75B+ API calls/year, cutting response times ~80% on targeted endpoints.
Built the backend for a pharmacy MVP scoped directly with independent pharmacies, integrating Epic's FHIR APIs via a custom OAuth2 / MyChart login for patient-record access.
A rigorous software engineering program covering the full application lifecycle, from system architecture to robust database design. Heavy academic grounding in calculus, linear algebra, and discrete math provides the foundation for my approach to complex algorithms, while specialized graphical interface coursework shaped my focus on building intuitive, clean UIs.
Open to backend, platform, and full-stack roles. Always up for a good conversation.
