Solutions-focused platform engineer building production APIs, middleware, and developer integrations for 10+ years.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a solutions-focused platform engineer and technical consultant with 10+ years of experience designing production APIs, middleware, and developer-facing integrations.
I’ve led client engagements from discovery and solution design through proof of concept and production delivery, with a track record of translating complex requirements into clear recommendations for both technical and executive audiences.
In production, I’ve shipped external-facing C APIs consumed by Unity, Unreal, and ISV developers worldwide and supported external developer partners to resolve integration blockers and accelerate time to ship. I also implemented platform-level authentication callback for Google login on Magic Leap 2 to enable Google account sign-in on a shipping Android-based AR device.
More recently, I’ve built an AI-powered content pipeline using Google AppScript and Gemini API, presenting an AI roadmap to executive leadership and delivering an automated workflow that replaced manual content aggregation.
