I build the
platforms businesses run on.
Full-stack engineer. 6+ years shipping production software across frontend, backend, cloud, and CI/CD — and a habit of owning the messy parts other people would rather skip.
Building real systems,
for real businesses.
Two roles, two very different problem spaces. Both about owning a piece of infrastructure end to end and shipping it cleanly.
Software Engineer, Platform
- / 01Lead the platform rebuild from a legacy portal onto a custom Next.js + AWS stack, projected to cut platform costs by ~$160K/yr.
- / 02Designed isolated dev, staging, and production environments across multiple AWS accounts with repeatable deployment workflows.
- / 03Built CI/CD on GitHub Actions and Vercel with environment-based releases and zero-downtime deploys.
- / 04Implemented role-based access and centralized secrets, eliminating static credentials across the platform.
- / 05Designed an event-driven document pipeline on S3, SQS, and SNS that processes sensitive contracts in seconds.
Technical Intern, Software Engineering
- / 01Wrote a microservice that pulled wildfire telemetry (wind, hotspots, terrain) and served it via API to the trajectory planner.
- / 02Built 2D visualizations with Plots.jl and 3D visualizations with CesiumJS to accelerate analysis and understanding.
- / 03Shipped against NASA-aligned guidelines: code reviews, automated tests, and full documentation.
Things I've shipped
on my own time.
Side projects where I owned everything: architecture, infrastructure, UX, and the long tail of small decisions that keep software working.
Billing.
Patient Billing Helper
A patient-facing helper that explains medical bills in plain language. OCRs the bill, parses line items against payer data, and answers "why am I being charged this?" before patients have to call the office.
RAG.
Clinical RAG Assistant
A retrieval-augmented assistant that chat-searches patient charts and visit notes so clinicians can pull what they need without scrolling through EHR tabs. Demoed live to a hospital-systems audience.
Caller.
AI Patient Check-in Caller
An AI agent that handles patient check-in calls end-to-end: collects intake answers, confirms appointments, and writes back to the chart. Real telephony, real conversation, no chatbot screen.
EchoURL.
EchoURL
A fast, no-account link tool. Built it to learn how the boring parts (caching, abuse prevention, analytics) hold up under real traffic — and because the existing options were either bloated or sketchy.
Astral.
Astral Chat
A lightweight real-time messaging app with authenticated chat, delivery markers, and a mobile-ready UI. Built around WebSocket gateways and a NestJS backend with React Native on top.
The kit I reach for
to ship things.
Comfortable across the stack. Deepest in TypeScript, .NET, and AWS, and quick to pick up new tools when the work calls for it.
- TypeScript
- JavaScript
- C#
- SQL
- Python
- React
- Next.js
- Angular
- HTML / CSS
- RxJS
- .NET (Core / Web API)
- Entity Framework
- ASP.NET MVC
- NestJS / Express
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
- SQL Server
- S3 / SQS / SNS
- OCR pipelines
- REST + WebSockets
- AWS (multi-account)
- Azure
- Docker
- GitHub Actions
- SST · Vercel
Five wins, mostly for
building health-tech.
Each one shipped end to end inside a 24 to 36 hour window. Small teams, real demos, no slide-deck handwaving.
Patient billing helper using Next.js, Azure OCR, and Python. Streamlined billing questions and reduced back and forth between patients and staff.
RAG assistant that chat-searches patient data and visit notes to speed up clinical documentation workflows.
Cliniq: medication-safety platform using Azure OCR and OpenAI to surface drug-interaction risks in seconds.
AI patient check-in caller using Twilio, Azure Speech Recognition, Azure Text-to-Speech, and OpenAI orchestrating a real phone conversation.
Lightweight AI patient check-in caller. The earliest cut of the system that later won Hacker's Choice at HackMT 2025.
Where I learned
to build things.
Studied business with a heavy lean toward systems and analytics, then turned the engineering side into a full-time craft.
Bachelor of Business Administration
Information Systems & Analytics
Middle Tennessee State UniversityThe fork between business and engineering. Useful when you're the engineer translating between operations leadership and the codebase.
Ongoing volunteer
software work
Details on requestI keep a long-running side commitment building and maintaining web infrastructure for a nonprofit. Happy to walk through the work in conversation.
