Lead Software Engineer at DigitalMediaSolutions who modernized a lead-delivery platform and restored 325 of 325 functional tests.

At DigitalMediaSolutions, I modernized a lead-delivery platform from PHP 7 to 8.1 and Symfony 2.7 to 6.4. I restored its functional test suite to 325 of 325 passing tests, alongside 725 unit tests.

I moved lead delivery to 13 partner CRMs across 21 vendor configurations, checking each cutover against the old system without interrupting partner service. On a second marketplace, I repeated the migration across seven CRMs in days instead of weeks using Claude Code.

At PushPros, I built PushNetwork, an ad-delivery API on an autoscaling fleet, and PushPros Rev, an hourly revenue dashboard. I was the developer on call and owned security, backups, and disaster recovery.

Through 400lb Communications, I built and launched HighmarkDirect's COVID-19 vaccine scheduler in two weeks. I also built and run MeetCritique, a video-review marketplace, and built Bragnarok, a real-time multiplayer game that serves as a testbed for directing AI agents.
