What I'm looking for

I want work where I can stay with a feature from the first rough requirement through release and support. Full-stack and product engineering roles fit best, especially on small teams where talking to users and debugging production are part of the job.

I build products from the first messy conversation through deployment and the problems that show up afterward.

At Free2Z, I work across TypeScript, SvelteKit, Python, Django, PostgreSQL and the infrastructure around releases. I led a live React-to-SvelteKit migration while the product stayed online, and I have followed production failures through the browser, API, database, Kubernetes and proxy layers.

Before that, I built SEP for AVAA. It replaced scattered scholar spreadsheets and now supports about 400 monthly users across three states. I also built Billingua Talent as the sole engineer for a U.S. Department of State program, with separate workflows for candidates, companies, advisors and administrators.

Outside work, I maintain SEP with AVAA's Education Committee and build projects such as Brio, a React Native and Go mobile control plane for Hermes Agent. I'm most useful on small teams where product questions, support and engineering still overlap.
