Senior Software Engineer / Full-Stack / DevOps
I ship resilient web platforms at enterprise scale (payments, LMS, multisite, integrations, AI). Senior developer who owns the stack from CI/CD to UI.
13+ years building web platforms hands-on across the entire stack (backend, frontend, integrations, infrastructure, security, CI/CD). One of the brands I currently work with predates Google itself. My clients range from Fortune-50 multinationals to government transportation agencies and franchise networks with hundreds of locations.
My work tends to live in the places that matter but rarely get a name: the database migration that doesn't break records, the deploy pipeline that doesn't require a maintenance window, the integration layer that quietly absorbs five years of corporate-API entropy. That instinct once had me reading LiteSpeed's own source code to figure out why a permission change kept silently reverting itself.
Currently leading the consolidation of 3 brands into a single unified platform, merging systems, products, and user experiences.
Delivered through agency and employer engagements (Fahrenheit Marketing, LEXX) and direct freelance work, several under NDA.
A non-exhaustive list of brands I've shipped code for across the last several years, from Fortune-50 multinationals to public-transit agencies, NASDAQ-listed manufacturers, federal-contractor training firms, and family-run e-commerce.
