What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can lead cloud-native platform rewrites, own production systems end-to-end, and partner with engineers to improve reliability and deployment speed. I want clear engineering ownership and strong operational rigor.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years shipping production systems end-to-end, spanning backend services, data platforms, and web/mobile applications. I focus on core platform rewrites, cloud-native architecture, and engineering team leadership that translate into faster delivery and more reliable operations.

Across Fortune 500 environments—food service, retail, financial services, and aviation—I’ve led mission-critical initiatives from founding-engineer through enterprise delivery. At Kroger, I helped integrate supply chain products on an Azure-based platform, accelerated deployment cycles with CI/CD automation, and delivered OAuth-based SSO to enable seamless user transitions.

I’m equally comfortable turning architecture into measurable outcomes. At Chick-fil-A, I led a full rewrite of a Python operations platform into Go, cutting load times by 50% and reducing operational support calls by 40% early on, while also modernizing infrastructure from Terraform to AWS CDK and migrating services to Kubernetes.

Before that, I built and scaled products as a founding engineer, shipping a grocery fulfillment platform across backend, web, and mobile, and securing $10.1M in pre-money funding. Earlier roles included managing a cross-functional team and architecting extensible enterprise platforms, plus modernizing legacy systems into secure, testable services—always with a practical, delivery-first mindset.
