I’m a Full-Stack Software Engineer with a passion for building scalable web applications and high-throughput APIs. I love working end-to-end—designing, containerizing, and deploying distributed systems using modern cloud and DevOps practices.

At SolutionsMET (remote, November 2023–Present), I contributed to cloud-native application development and AWS-based delivery workflows for federal and internal product initiatives. I modernized GAO’s deployment workflow through application containerization and CI/CD patterns built around AWS ECR, improving build consistency and enabling more repeatable release processes in a compliance-focused environment. I also built and supported AWS-based features and infrastructure using services such as ECS, ECR, Lambda, S3, Route 53, CloudFront, and IAM, and supported delivery patterns through AWS CDK and CI/CD-focused implementation.

I’m currently building cloud foundations part-time at ThursdayThrift (November 2025–Present), where I define application architecture, infrastructure, and deployment workflows across web and backend services. I architected a cloud-native AWS environment for frontend and backend services, built and deployed containerized backend services using Docker, Amazon ECR, and ECS Fargate, and implemented CI/CD pipelines with AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild to automate service delivery. I also support zero-downtime deployment workflows and infrastructure patterns for production-ready releases.

Earlier, I strengthened my front-end craft as a Front-End Developer at Vidovo (January 2023–November 2023) and Collabify.ai (June 2022–December 2022). I built responsive Next.js features with TypeScript and Tailwind, integrated Prisma-powered data access patterns, and shipped polished UI updates. Across the MERN stack, I delivered JWT-based authentication, profile management, and email verification flows, while modernizing frontend architecture by migrating state management to Redux Toolkit and strengthening maintainability with TypeScript and Sass.
