Focused on modernizing critical systems, improving developer experience, and building scalable cloud and DevOps infrastructure across a single-tenant architecture serving hundreds of dealerships. Work spanned full-stack development, AWS automation, CI/CD modernization, internal tooling, and technical leadership.
Highlights:
• Architected and automated the migration of all production servers from DigitalOcean Droplets to AWS EC2 using an IaC-driven workflow (CloudFormation/CDK) with automated DNS cutover. Leveraged AWS MAP to achieve ~45% projected infrastructure savings over 3 years.
• Reduced per-server migration time from hours to minutes through a fully automated migration pipeline.
• Built enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines using CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy, introducing dependency caching, path-based triggers, and version-aware protections. Cut deployment times by 50% and eliminated unnecessary builds.
• Modernized the Multi-Point Inspection feature to be used by a Fortune 200 company, doubling product-line revenue.
• Elevated DevX by automating manual processes, leading the migration to TypeScript, introducing Linting/Prettier and coding standards, creating shared component libraries, and expanding Jest/RTL coverage across business-critical paths, increasing delivery cadence and confidence.
• Integrated AI-assisted tooling for code modernization, log analysis, and internal knowledge retrieval, improving onboarding time and developer productivity.
• Mentored developers, guided architecture discussions, contributed heavily to frontend best practices, further improving delivery velocity.

Led mobile engineering efforts across Big Health's suite of digital therapeutics, including Sleepio (340k+ users) and Daylight (12M+ potential reach). Contributed to authentication, feature development, engagement systems, and internal tooling that improved developer collaboration and product delivery.
Highlights:
• Led rollout of multi-factor authentication across multiple consumer mobile applications.
• Built in-app signup and authentication flows across iOS and Android React Native apps.
• Implemented a notification management system using Iterable to drive behavioral nudges, reminders, and marketing, increasing engagement by ~25%.
• Introduced Storybook as a standardized UI documentation and collaboration system, reducing design drift and improving dev/designer alignment.
• Authored a technical design for implementing version control in an internal content-delivery framework used across all Big Health products.

Supported a multi-agency government program used by tens of thousands of federal employees. Worked across frontend, backend, and real-time systems to deliver scalable, maintainable features and improve engineering reliability.
Played a hybrid role across engineering, architecture, product collaboration, and Agile leadership, removing blockers, improving DevX, and enabling the team to deliver more consistently.
Highlights:
• Worked closely with senior management, product owner, UX, and technical staff to communicate feasibility of requirements, ensure developers understanding of the business of the application, and to remove development blockers.
• Led and mentored developers on front-end development using React and TypeScript, increasing cross-functionality of the team.
• Acted as Scrum Master, conducted Agile Ceremonies, provided estimates, and ensured the team had sufficient work during Sprint Planning.
• Designed live-updating dashboards leveraging a metadata-driven web-socket framework, created reusable components allowing for rapid development of future modules.
• Introduced Unit, End-to-End, and Integration Testing by creating an Automated Testing suite using Cypress and Jest.

• Refactored Dashboard architecture, allowing for feature area code to be broken out into modules, reducing the main applications size by over 80%, significantly reducing build and deployment times. This redesign also solved issues where URL routing did not properly work.
• Advised product owners on limitations, estimates of development efforts.
• Designed and developed user-facing web elements and pages for a Single Page Application using React and Flux for state management.
• Created VS Code snippets for common development and testing patters, allowing for more rapid development.

Served as a Senior Software Developer on a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) contract, brought in specifically to take an unstable proof-of-concept application and turn it into a maintainable, production-ready system. Led the modernization of legacy financial and budgetary workflows by re-architecting the application into a scalable React + Redux solution, improved data validation, and a real-time dashboard for monitoring submission activity.
By introducing modern engineering practices, automation, and a streamlined development workflow, I significantly improved system stability, reduced deployment friction, and established a foundation the SEC's internal teams could continue building upon long after the contract ended.
• Modernized an aging POC into a stable, maintainable Typescript React + Redux application with a real-time workflow dashboard.
• Introduced modern engineering patterns, version control discipline, and consistent component architecture to reduce technical debt.
• Built automated build/deploy pipelines that reduced deployments from 3 minutes to ~30 seconds, improving iteration speed.
• Created a low-friction local development workflow, enabling engineers to test changes without constant redeploys.
• Mentored a distributed development team, increasing delivery quality and accelerating handoff to the client team.
