Adaptable and Collaborative Efficiency-Driven Developer Rooted in Systems Thinking

Go
Java
JavaScript
Node.js
Python

For my entire life, I've been on and around computers and felt a strong connection with the almost-rigid, logical cause-and-effect environment. As my intuitive understanding continuously grew, I pursued and received a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Florida to further enmesh and expose myself to the inner workings and systems. My studies gave me a deeper understanding of the systems that have not only shaped my personal experiences but also the world at large. I’m driven by the challenge of building and refining systems to solve real problems—whether that means optimizing everyday workflows, repurposing existing tools in creative ways, or bridging disconnected platforms to streamline complex processes. For me, efficiency isn’t just about speed; it’s about designing solutions that are sustainable, intuitive, and considerate of the broader context. I thrive in environments with established structures, where I can integrate quickly, assess what's working, and identify areas for improvement or innovation. I appreciate questioning the status quo in a way that is considerate and open to compromise. I bring a balanced approach to team dynamics—whether navigating highly cooperative settings or working to build bridges in more challenging ones. At the core, I’m committed to growth: my own, the team's, and the systems we build together.

Full-Stack Web Developer | Creating Useful, Meaningful, and Delightful Web Applications

JavaScript
Ruby
Ruby on Rails
Tailwind CSS

My Developer Story About Me I’m entirely self-taught—no bootcamp, no CS degree, just a deep curiosity and a drive to build things that matter. My journey started with The Odin Project’s Ruby on Rails curriculum (https://www.theodinproject.com/paths/full-stack-ruby-on-rails), but I quickly realized that real growth comes from rolling up your sleeves and building something from scratch. That’s how PaceMaker (https://pace-maker.onrender.com) was born—a full-featured Rails app for cross-country coaches and athletes, inspired by challenges my dad faced as a coach for over 25 years. Every feature, from real-time team messaging to Strava integration, was shaped by real user needs and continuous feedback. Milestones & Lessons Learned One of my proudest milestones was launching PaceMaker and seeing it actually used by teams to track progress, set goals, and stay connected. Building it solo—while raising a newborn, supporting my wife through nursing school, and working part-time—taught me not just technical skills, but also perseverance, time management, and the value of listening to users. I learned to prioritize clarity, reliability, and simplicity in both code and user experience, and I’m always looking for ways to refine my work as I grow. What Drives Me What excites me most is the opportunity to create tools that make a genuine difference for real people. I love the craft of writing clean, thoughtful code, but I care just as much about the impact of what I build. My experience training new employees in other roles has shaped how I communicate—whether I’m pair programming, writing documentation, or walking through a PR, I aim to make complex ideas accessible and foster real collaboration. I thrive in environments where autonomy, ownership, and thoughtful problem-solving are valued, and I’m always eager to learn something new or tackle a challenge others might shy away from. That’s what I bring to every project and every team I join.

I turn broken systems into intelligent platforms that scale without breaking people.

AI
Machine Learning
Management
Mentoring
Python

My path began in 2006, building APIs in spare rooms around college while studying marketing and computer science. The education came from watching systems fail from human disconnection, not technical flaws. I learned that elegant code means nothing if people can't trust it, use it, or build on it. That insight shaped everything. At Jack Automation, I built PropTech's first AI-native platform to speak three languages because property management happens in English, Spanish, and French. The system understood context, not commands. TechCrunch called us a Top AI Startup. What mattered more: 15,000 homes operating without manual intervention. What makes me different is systems thinking. Where others see technical debt, I see architectural opportunity. At HGR Industrial Surplus, the board recruited me to fix a post-M&A technology freeze. Instead of patching problems, I rebuilt the foundation: AI-powered pricing eliminated manual input, product intelligence classified over 30,000 SKUs automatically, and infrastructure lifted EBITDA by 5% in 90 days. At Insight's $10B platform, I embedded GenAI into microservices before standard practice. The quantum-logic pricing engine became the template that other divisions adopted globally. I operate between the possible and the practical. My systems persist through acquisitions (EY still uses frameworks I built at Advanced Mankind), influence government infrastructure (El Salvador adopted our blockchain architecture), and scale without breaking teams. The differentiator? I build for humans who inherit my work. Clean architecture, thorough documentation explaining the rationale, and systems that teach rather than obscure. When I leave, platforms thrive. I solve today's problems while eliminating tomorrow's. This happens when you combine technical execution with systems thinking, human psychology, and business architecture. Code works. Teams grow. Platforms endure. The future needs systems that scale with intelligence, not processing power. That intersection—where AI meets human capability, where architecture enables autonomy—that's where I build.

I really enjoy my work, and I like to wear multiple hats from hands on tech lead to Architect to DBA to DevOps and now AI

AI
Azure
C#
DevOps
.NET Core

Technology doesn't exist in a vacuum; it is important to always stay focused on the underlying business objectives that drive technical innovations and implementations. I never lose sight of this fact. I love the fact that in tech, I can be innovative, creative and impactful! To stay relevant in tech you must embrace being a life-long learner and be willing to reinvent yourself when the Paradym shifts, as we saw with the emergence of Cloud Computing and we are now seeing with AI. I enjoy my work, which is something so few people can say. I like to wear multiple technical skill hats and love being able to "mix it up". I am primarily focused on Microsoft technologies including dot Net Core and Azure including all aspects of Compute, Data/Big Data, DevOps, and AI/ML. There are a couple of things I recently learned that are interesting: 1) using the Microsoft Trusted Signing service in Azure; 2) using RAG and semantic kernel / vector database in generative AI to customize the generated content to consider external data sources outside the LLM. I am comfortable working as a hands-on full stack developer, an Enterprise / Solutions Architect, a DBA, a DevOps engineer and an AI Engineer. I am able to effectively communicate at all levels of the tech hierarchy, including C-Level sponsors, to PO, to BA, to Junior and intern engineers. In my roles I am generally involved in all aspects of technical solutions delivery, including requirements, budget estimation, systems and software architecture, POC, security, deployment, review, policy.
