At Lockheed Martin Space, I develop full-stack features with Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and React/TypeScript. I’ve implemented OAuth2 and Keycloak authentication with role-based access control across services.

I also built event-driven and serverless components using Apache Kafka and AWS Lambda, and containerized services for Kubernetes deployment with Helm. Previously, at Fortna, I developed backend services and automated tests for warehouse execution systems.
