At HealthMatch, I transformed a critical, unstable revenue-generating web application into a reliable, scalable platform, eliminating costly downtime and preventing revenue leakage. I also designed a DBT and Metabase reporting pipeline so non-technical teams could self-serve insights.

At Refresh:Food, I architected a cross-platform React Native app and helped scale the business from $0 to $3M in revenue while enabling 3 million meal donations. I also built its Next.js ordering platform and data pipeline for real-time insights.

I solo-built and shipped SkiMate, a ski trip planning platform that brings together live resort conditions, travel logistics, and personal trip tracking. Across my work, I’ve delivered products spanning mobile, web, backend systems, and data pipelines.
