What I'm looking for

I'm seeking backend or full-stack engineering work where I can apply my enterprise backend experience alongside my cloud infrastructure and Angular development skills.

At NISC, I engineered and maintained the CDC pipeline that synchronized cooperative membership data across the IVUE application suite. At peak load, it synchronized a high volume of data diffs across thousands of member deployments daily.

I also architected a fail-safe Kafka connector for Amazon S3 and optimized compute resource allocation to reduce monthly cloud infrastructure costs. I strengthened observability across mission-critical production systems using Splunk and Grafana.

At VIMAN Labs, University of Missouri, I applied Hyperledger Fabric to an alternative insurance claims tracking system, prototyped smart contracts, and co-authored published research. I also built Arena Set Cracker, a community trading-card data tool with an automated AWS deployment pipeline using Terraform.
