At Velo Data, I solved blocked Binance scraping with Bright Data and Puppeteer, cloned production AWS infrastructure with Terraform, and built a CodeBuild process for multi-image Docker deployments to ECR. Previously at BookNook, I expanded a Node and React tutoring platform and reduced test-running time by 99% through parallelization and data fixtures.

I've built and modernized web applications for CNBC, Schoology, YouNoodle, TubeMogul, Greystripe, and an eHealth startup, working across PHP, Laravel, Node, React, AWS, databases, CI/CD, and Linux systems. I enjoy improving engineering standards, automating difficult workflows, documenting systems clearly, reviewing code, and mentoring junior developers.
