What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, user-focused SaaS (GIS/data viz) with strong engineering practices, AI-assisted tooling, and rapid product iteration in collaborative teams.

I am a full-stack software engineer with 7+ years building multi-tenant environmental compliance SaaS, focused on frontend UX, GIS, data visualization, and backend performance.

I architect scalable dashboards and mapping systems using React, TypeScript, Leaflet, PostGIS, and Tailwind CSS, reducing delivery time and client-side complexity while achieving sub-second responses.

I built a team-wide AI development infrastructure around Claude Code with workflow commands, specialized agents, and integrations to Jira and Sentry, cutting complex multi-step tasks to single commands and accelerating developer velocity.

I design config-driven, maintainable full-stack architectures and self-service client features—enabling rapid iteration, reducing duplicate code, and supporting audit-proof compliance reporting across 100+ municipal clients.
