Message

At Argos UK, I architected and engineered Kotlin and React edge solutions for web and in-store kiosk interfaces. I also modernized the global web store UI and added New Relic and Firebase logging to the enterprise codebase.

At State University, I architected Moodle LMS infrastructure on AWS and developed Moodle plugins, integrating BigBlueButton for interactive virtual classrooms. I optimized MySQL and PostgreSQL databases and administered Linux servers.

Across my projects, I developed a secure enterprise application using Java, Kotlin, Go, and PostgreSQL, with OAuth 2.0, JWT, and API key authentication. I’ve also worked on AI chatbots, a health booking app, an AI-powered fintech app, and open-source developer tools.
