Message

At Petco, I architected and shipped the pet insurance platform from zero to production, serving millions of users with zero-downtime deployment. I worked across its React, TypeScript, Next.js, GraphQL/Apollo, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS stack, including integrations with NationWide Insurance.

As an independent Principal Engineer, I’ve delivered 20+ production systems for clients including Chanel Mexico, Sony, and American Express. I also built ProductForge.ai, which turns meeting transcripts into structured Jira and Tempo tickets, and I teach full-stack development at MediaTech.
