About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Platform Engineer and backend-focused software engineer specializing in infrastructure automation, internal developer tooling, cloud-native APIs, and distributed systems. I bridge application development and cloud infrastructure to deliver reliable, scalable systems.

I have extensive experience building Python services, microservices, command-line tools, CI/CD automation, and AWS-based platform solutions. My work has focused on reducing engineering overhead, improving deployment workflows, and increasing operational efficiency.

I have designed and optimized systems involving telemetry processing, Redis locking, PostgreSQL schemas, messaging, provisioning, observability, and data-ingestion validation. I prioritize performance, reliability, backward compatibility, and maintainable engineering practices.

I am comfortable working across the stack with Python, Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, React, and Material UI. I have also developed internal dashboards and user interfaces that support infrastructure, firewall management, race operations, and subscription workflows.

My background includes DevOps and cloud automation with AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Lambda, EventBridge, CloudWatch, and EKS. I value documentation, testing, cross-functional collaboration, and practical automation that makes engineering teams more productive.

I also have experience with OCR, sentiment analysis, NLP experimentation, and machine-learning-focused workflows. I continuously expand my technical knowledge through formal programs in artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Career history

Senior Software Engineer GM Motorsports

Contribute to distributed race telemetry and strategy tooling for live motorsports operations. Improved concurrency and telemetry-data processing by identifying contention bottlenecks and collaborating on a Redis locking redesign that replaced a global lock with granular race-level and vehicle-level locks.

Maintained backward-compatible legacy locking behavior during rollout and validation. Improved PostgreSQL schemas, ingestion filtering, validation safeguards, test coverage, and documentation for critical race strategy workflows.

Delivered frontend and dashboard updates using Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, React, and Material UI, integrating operational interfaces with live race-data streams.

Software Engineer III JP Morgan Chase & Co.

Built infrastructure and automation tools to improve engineering efficiency and reduce manual operational work. Developed CLI tooling for Terraform module version updates, complex engineering workflows, and automated Docker image deployment to dedicated AWS development environments.

Created a firewall management UI using Python, React, and Material UI. Developed an EventBridge-triggered AWS Lambda function that automated EKS log group allowlist management through SSM Parameter Store and CloudWatch routing.

Developed and demonstrated a proof-of-concept sentiment analysis tool for customer error reports and employee blog experimentation to senior leadership.

API / Network Developer II & III Charter / Spectrum Enterprise

Built, maintained, and enhanced four core microservices supporting end-to-end order processing from Salesforce through configuration management, provisioning, orchestration, and customer device delivery.

Optimized provisioning workflows, reducing order-processing time from hours to minutes. Designed Jenkins CI/CD pipelines that replaced manual overnight deployments.

Established an automated Pytest-based testing structure to improve service stability and reliability.

Python Developer Command Alkon / Ruckit LLC.

Developed core backend product capabilities, including an OCR-based ticketing system using Google OCR to extract logistics data and automate paper-ticket processing. Designed and deployed an internal chat system adopted by job owners, dispatchers, and drivers.

Automated invoice numbering for company-specific formats, reducing human error. Built a scalable, modular rerouting mechanism that generated new driver jobs from OCR-based inputs and improved real-time dispatch workflows.

Modeled complex relationships among jobs, companies, drivers, and trucks, establishing groundwork for future machine-learning-based format inference.

Full-Stack Developer Andrew Harper LLC

Developed a subscription management dashboard for customer onboarding and existing subscriptions. Built a geographical hotel tree with detailed querying, filtering, and sorting for luxury travel planning.

Created an address-correction script to reduce shipping errors, refunds, reprints, and subscription cancellations caused by outdated customer addresses.
