United States

For Swan Creek Spirits, I took a liquor store live within three weeks of the first commit and have operated its platform since June 2026. I connected its point-of-sale inventory feed, consolidated listings with human review for uncertain photo matches, and built security and recovery checks into deployments.

At Mazda Toyota Manufacturing, I led a team of seven associates on a vehicle assembly line, accountable for throughput, quality, and safety. I also contributed an upstream fix to OpenFrontIO after diagnosing a bug that froze a lobby.
