I help projects survive chaos and scale, bridging legacy systems, modern stacks, and connected devices. Curious and hands-on, I’ve been tinkering with tech since 2010—from graphic design to full-stack development and IoT prototypes.

Richardson, Texas, United States
* Adaptable skill set and prior experience in Frontend, Backend, and DevOps allowed me to collaborate effectively across teams.
* Key contributor in prototyping and integrating new device capabilities into Thinaer’s IoT ecosystem.
* Regularly collaborated with vendors and conducted independent research to solve complex hardware/software challenges and deliver tailored solutions.
* Built AWS and Azure Marketplace frontends to support product distribution.
* Developed a custom WordPress plugin that connected marketing site lead forms with cloud-based marketplace systems via AWS Lambda and Azure Functions.
* Implemented MQTT capabilities within microservices to enable communication with next-generation devices.
* Integrated new hardware into the existing architecture using AWS Kinesis, MQTT brokers, and other supporting infrastructure.
* Led research and low-level embedded development with Zephyr and C on Nordic chipsets.
* Designed and built a beacon relay that scanned, captured, and rebroadcasted nearby device data in timed advertising packets with power-optimized logic.
* Performed firmware flashing via UART and J-Link for production deployment.
* Integrated Impinj RAIN RFID readers into Thinaer’s ecosystem—the company’s first use of RFID—by developing services that routed reader data through MQTT to the ingest microservice, enabling real-time updates in the Sonar dashboard.
* Conducted a comprehensive audit and refactor of the gateway codebase: removed deprecated logic, enforced SOLID/DRY principles, upgraded dependencies, optimized build processes, updated Linux distributions, and improved overall performance and security.
* Contributed to the web frontend, supported infrastructure efforts using AWS and Terraform, helped organize the engineering backlog, and maintained the company’s WordPress site, troubleshooting issues as needed.

Our web application engineers did everything from the DB models (including GraphQL) to the server-side code (Python/Flask, Go, Rails) to the HTML/JS (React). Primary language is Python/Go but migrated to Rails. A test-first and quality mindset was critical. Worked on cutting edge AI work in the data science field, scaling distributed systems, etc.
* Soloed a project using Terraform as an IaC layer to build Kubernetes clusters
* Utilized Helm charts for package management
* Implemented Oauth2-Proxy for authentication
* Managed CI/CD flow with GitHub Actions
* Used ArgoCD for GitOps
