About Me
Passionate about creating meaningful digital experiences
My Background
As a Full Stack Software Engineer with a background in both civilian and military technology, I’ve delivered high-impact solutions across municipal, eCommerce, and educational platforms. From building 15+ government-facing modules with C# and Orchard Core to leading the development of multi-tenant apps with Next.js and Payload CMS, I specialize in scalable systems, clean architecture, and efficient workflows. My experience spans full-stack development, database optimization, and third-party integration, all backed by a disciplined, results-driven approach forged in the U.S. Army and sharpened through immersive mentorship at Galvanize.
What Drives Me
Technology is more than code, it’s a way to simplify the complex, empower people, and scale impact. I’m driven by the challenge of solving real-world problems through intuitive design and efficient backend logic. Whether mentoring new developers or optimizing SQL performance for 500+ users, I approach every project as a chance to grow and innovate. My passion lies in pushing boundaries — exploring tools like Stripe Connect, EsriAPI, and multi-tenant CMS architectures — to deliver robust, modern, and meaningful digital experiences.
