What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build data-driven web, visualization, and 3D products where I can combine full-stack engineering, data platforms, UX, and AI-assisted development workflows.

I'm building React Native applications for Amazon Fire TV and Vega OS at Tegna, serving 39 syndicated news sites nationwide. I also built a MERN and .NET Core visualization app for streaming performance and user analytics.

At Equitrust, I led client-facing UI development across Angular, React, React Native, Next.js, and ASP.NET Core. I translated designs into responsive products and built customizable 3D visualizations and data-rich dashboards backed by AWS, Redshift, and Tableau.

My work at Raytheon included VR and 3D military training modules, cockpit simulations, real-time flight-data interfaces, and custom OpenGL shaders. Earlier, I built reusable React applications and Sitecore templates, and led a seven-person Creative Technology team developing advertising automation tools.

Across more than 10 years, I've combined full-stack engineering, data pipelines, visualization, and 3D rendering to turn complex data and systems into useful experiences.
