What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build high-impact web and cloud products where I can improve performance, reliability, content workflows, and user experiences across the stack.

At EssentiallySports, I build and modernize high-traffic web experiences, from a Next.js SSR article page that reduced phone CrUX INP by about 33% and CLS by about 30% to an NFL Draft Board with search, filters, and watchlists. I also led homepage implementation for a sitewide brand revamp and built Tennis Social Hub end-to-end.

I've worked across AWS, WordPress, React, .NET Core, Django, and insurer API integrations, including cutting AWS spend by about 5% and upgrading Aurora MySQL from 5.7 to 8.0 with zero downtime. I enjoy shipping practical systems, including LLM and embedding-based content moderation, multi-brand headless microsites, and reliable customer journeys.
