What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own product architecture end-to-end—building mobile/web/AI features, designing APIs and auth, integrating AI with structured outputs, and shipping quickly in a learning-focused engineering culture.

I’m a self-taught software engineer and product builder who ships mobile, web, and AI-powered applications. I founded WynWave Tech LLC and built multiple products while working full-time as an over-the-road truck driver, including a friend discovery platform, an AI-assisted writing application, and a community storytelling and learning platform.

I specialize in API design and backend architecture, authentication, and local-first architectures—then take those ideas through deployment and iteration. I build with Flutter, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, React, and DigitalOcean, integrate AI services with structured outputs, and lead technical decision-making across product architecture, infrastructure, and workflows.
