Lead Software Engineer at Codifi who built an offline-first sync engine for field crews working without connectivity.

United States

Message

At Codifi (Chronicle Heritage), I led engineering for a field data platform used by archaeology and environmental crews working offline. I designed and built Hydra, an event-sourced sync engine that lets multiple users edit the same project offline and converge without manual conflict resolution.

I also built Ripple, a formula engine that runs identically on mobile, web, and server, and an AI formula assistant whose output is checked by the production engine. From 2025, I served as the sole backend and platform engineer, working across the API, apps, AWS infrastructure, database, and release pipeline.

Earlier, I built software for investment-company billing at BlueSky, a group trip-planning app at Tripick, and real-time steel-production tools at ArcelorMittal. I focus on turning fragile codebases into systems that small teams can run, and I use deterministic validation to make AI features reliable in production.
