What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale high-impact software systems, lead strong engineering practices, and apply AI-assisted workflows, modern backend architecture, and responsive frontend development to meaningful products.

I've built scalable software at Firstup, FedEx DataWorks/ShopRunner, Tribune Publishing, and Brandify, spanning enterprise communications, fraud detection, high-traffic media, and API platforms. At ShopRunner, I built a React fraud-review dashboard, modular partner SDK components, and a canary service while optimizing Cloud BigTable for millions of daily fraud-detection queries.

I've also led engineering teams through sprint planning, architecture reviews, and mentorship, and modernized deployment pipelines and Node.js API infrastructure. I continue exploring self-hosted AI, local LLM workflows, Rust, C++, and WebAssembly performance benchmarking.
