At Shipwell, I redesigned the backend and domain model for an optimized RFP workflow, bringing spreadsheet intake, carrier bidding, bid history, contracts, search, and downstream routing into one commercial model.

I delivered transportation-contract workflows from intake and pricing through amendments, shipment financials, and data recovery, connecting backend services to React and TypeScript experiences. I also built a recoverable CSV and Google Sheets bidding flow so users could fix problematic input without restarting.

I conceived and implemented a hackathon-winning MCP-based shipment assistant that creates and updates shipments, tenders freight to carriers, and applies transportation contracts. I also originated Zeus, an internal developer-intelligence platform for improving trust in AI-assisted engineering.

Earlier, I developed major aspects of ZYNET, a retro sci-fi action VR game, and worked on software and automated testing at Nike and Catalyte. I enjoy combining hands-on implementation with technical leadership, mentoring, and developer productivity improvements.
