What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable, high-impact software in a collaborative Agile environment, with opportunities to own technical initiatives across backend, IoT/RFID, cloud, and distributed systems.

At FedEx, I contributed backend improvements across a 30+ application ecosystem, including refactoring RDIM for better multi-barcode error detection and enhancing ZOO with Go.

I've supported automated shipment dimensioning systems that have generated $19.5M in revenue since launch, automated SSH-based device configuration, and helped deploy 50+ Zebra RFID devices at scale. I also maintain CI/CD pipelines, support Kubernetes deployments, resolve container vulnerabilities, and coordinate directly with Zebra vendors on complex hardware and software issues.

Earlier at FedEx, I worked on forklift geofencing and IoT/RFID enhancements using Go, Python, Java, REST APIs, and SQL/NoSQL. I bring a practical, ownership-driven approach to fast-changing Agile environments and enjoy delivering systems that improve reliability and real operational outcomes.
