What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build practical software and technical systems where I can apply full-stack development, automation, networking, and hands-on IT support skills while growing through meaningful project ownership.

I've built ArchiTranslate, a patent-pending architectural PDF translation system that preserves drawing layout, rotation, and geometry across language pairs. I integrated Google Cloud Vision API, DeepL, and PyMuPDF while developing skew-tolerant text clustering, coordinate transforms, and precise redaction workflows.

I also built CareerSift, a full-stack job aggregation platform with persistent accounts and saved listings, and Niner Maintenance, a React, Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB maintenance-request system. My work includes REST-style data flows, relational schema design, admin portals, automated testing, and sprint leadership.

Alongside software development, I've supported organizations and clients with workstation deployments, hardware upgrades, network troubleshooting, cybersecurity guidance, and on-site IT support. I led a six-person team deploying more than 100 workstations for Capital Group.
