Engineering Leader and Software Engineer

I build software products, developer tooling, and AI-assisted workflows through ongoing independent development.

I partner with small businesses on focused consulting engagements involving backend development, application modernization, and technical problem solving.

I modernized ADP Sora's onboarding platform through architectural redesign and large-scale Node.js and TypeScript refactoring.

I authored RFCs and technical proposals for complex feature rewrites and platform-wide changes, decomposed monolithic services, and established consistent TypeScript patterns to improve type safety and developer velocity.

I scaled Lunchbox's backend and data organization while modernizing ordering and analytics platforms. I managed eight engineers across hiring, performance, mentorship, and career development, while partnering with product and design on roadmaps.

I migrated the core backend from Express.js to NestJS, designed real-time data pipelines using Python, Snowflake, dbt, and Airflow, and implemented event-driven replication into analytics. I reduced menu synchronization from approximately 45 minutes to under five minutes and improved CI/CD practices.

I directed backend engineering for high-volume financial trading products and managed, hired, and mentored engineers while contributing directly to Node.js and TypeScript architecture.

I owned authentication and authorization services built with AWS Cognito, Lambda, and DynamoDB. I also created platform tooling that improved operational efficiency and observability.

I contributed to Prebid.js and modernized legacy JavaScript code.

I also mentored engineers through pair programming and code reviews.

I improved Node.js APIs, database performance, and React Native application stability.

This work supported the product before the company was acquired.

I established JavaScript engineering standards and led a product migration from Angular to React and Redux.

My role ended during organizational restructuring.

I developed the company's first large-scale data pipelines using Databricks, Scala, and Spark.

I migrated the codebase to Git and introduced release workflows across multiple teams.

I directed engineering for real-time commerce analytics while remaining an active contributor to backend architecture and development. I developed Node.js services and APIs for customer-facing SaaS products.

I partnered with product and business teams to prioritize platform capabilities and provided technical direction across engineering, product, and data teams.
