Senior software engineer who modernizes legacy systems with TypeScript, Go, and AI.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years building and scaling enterprise systems for global media leaders such as Apple, Disney, and CAA. I specialize in transitioning legacy platforms into modern, high-concurrency architectures using TypeScript, Go, and Java.
My recent work focuses on engineered web architectures with Next.js and Node.js, and on integrating AI and LLM orchestration to automate complex data workflows and reduce manual overhead. I have led migrations, GDPR-compliant launches, and performance optimizations that measurably improved throughput and latency.
Across roles I have architected RAG systems, high-concurrency Go microservices, GraphQL API integrations, and observability tooling that prevented downtime and increased deployment frequency. I combine a technical background with Business and Communications to align infrastructure decisions with operational strategy.
I deliver pragmatic, measurable results—cutting response times from hours to near-instant, reducing processing times by orders of magnitude, and improving team velocity—while prioritizing reliability, compliance, and developer experience.
