Founder & Application Developer

• Founded my own company and shipped production web apps end to end with Laravel, React, Inertia, HTMX, PostgreSQL, Redis, R2, and Tailwind CSS.
• Built MCP servers for OpenAI and Claude plugins, so AI agents can use the products directly and AI channels bring in new users.
• Benchmarked LLMs in a blind A/B test, then switched models and prompts, cutting flagged problems by 96% (51% → 2%).
• Designed cost-efficient AI data generation pipelines on OpenRouter.
• Shipped iOS and Android apps with React Native, backed by APIs I built in Laravel.
• Chose Redis for sessions and SQLite for persistent data, including large computed objects that are cached, after Redis's single-threaded design added latency serving them.
• Integrated Claude, Fal.ai, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Kimi, Cloudflare Images, and Cloudflare Stream.
• Integrated Stripe and HitPay payments, with webhooks handling payment events.
• Ran marketing and transactional email on Resend.
• Gated every release on code quality and test coverage with GitHub Actions.
• Ran database and server upgrades and operations on Ubuntu while holding 99.98% uptime.

Cloud Applications Engineer

• Kept production healthy across 1,000+ AWS EC2 instances, troubleshooting performance issues, alarms, and requests.
• Refactored the PowerShell monitoring stack around best practices and added caching that cut API calls and SQL queries by 66% to 99.9% in testing. I left before it reached production.
• Added a guard to the Jenkins deployment pipeline that stopped deployments to tenants placed in a unique state, which the pipeline would otherwise revert, replacing manual communications.
• Corrected monitoring issues on Windows Server EC2 instances with PowerShell and Ansible.
• Wrote the playbook for a customer-facing bug, covering both the communications and the fix.
• Met SLAs with high satisfaction through clear, timely updates to customers and teams.

ITS Analyst, Cloud Center of Excellence

• Led the GitHub Actions and Splunk integrations for a greenfield AWS deployment, built with Terraform.

• Defended designs in front of the Architecture Review Board, answering solutions architects and cybersecurity.
• Built an LLM tool for an internal chatbot proof of value with LangChain and Azure OpenAI, in JavaScript.

ITS Analyst, Record to Report

• Cut deployment time for a key finance application by 97–99% with a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline (IaC and PowerShell).
• Recognized at a GTS town hall for finding, reporting, and fixing security vulnerabilities and design drift.
• Earned bonuses for fast incident response, integration work, and a successful SaaS migration.
• Wrote Python to mass-edit XML files, letting the team move quickly to Azure AD single sign-on and making sure the production cutover matched what we had validated in testing.
• Automated server maintenance, software installs, and configuration with PowerShell.
• Identified and spearheaded automating user provisioning in OneStream with VB.NET, and built it so it could later be driven from our ServiceNow instance.
• Helped build integrations from Azure and on-prem data sources to a SaaS application.

ITS Intern, Record to Report
