What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote roles in the U.S. or hybrid opportunities in the Tampa area where I can build production AI tooling, modernize applications, and deliver measurable business outcomes.

At Shift4, I led an Ember-to-React micro-frontend migration, built online-ordering experiences that contributed to a 44% lift in monthly app installs, and delivered internationalization features supporting European expansion. I also authored Claude Code standards adopted across three enterprise teams.

As an independent consultant, I build AI-enabled applications, serverless RAG chatbots, and modern TypeScript products on AWS. My work includes a React inspection dashboard that cut manufacturing inspection time by about 30% and a RAG architecture redesigned to avoid roughly $4,200 annually in projected costs.
