10+ years in software engineering. 4+ years at AWS building developer infrastructure at scale. I'm a Senior SDE on AWS Amplify Hosting: a CI/CD and hosting platform. I joined when the team was 6 engineers; today it's 30+, and I'm the subject matter expert and a technical leader across the entire Hosting stack.

Building open source developer tools for AI-assisted workflows.
Current project: Domscribe — a build-time plugin that maps every DOM element to its exact source location, so AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor and Kiro know precisely what to edit without searching. Works with React, Vue, Next.js, and Nuxt across Vite, Webpack, and Turbopack.

I was the lead architect at Whiteboard, a mortgage CRM software company that caters to the mortgage industry. My main responsibility was leading the development of a distributed, scalable and highly-available cloud-based web application.
My role here involved designing full stack applications, implementing git workflows, establishing development standards, leading architecture discussions with the rest of the team, coordinating with QA engineers and release management.
A key project I delivered involved an architectural overhaul of our backend application by re-writing services in NodeJS. Using Loopback, Typescript and implementing Dependency injection as the primary design pattern, allowed me to establish a standard of coding that was easy to unit test.

I played the lead role in the complete infrastructure overhaul of the application from dedicated hosting to a containerized cloud environment. This involved breaking the application into smaller services and separating the concerns of each piece. I setup a Docker swarm cluster, with each of the smaller pieces deployed in their own isolated containers while talking to each other through a message broker like RabbitMQ. Combining this with AWS CloudFormation, our entire infrastructure is versioned and tracked as simple text files. This allowed me to setup isolated testing environments with the concern separation at the infrastructure level.
I also played the lead role in setting up our continuous delivery pipelines. The pipelines allow for automated deployments, with each change that's tracked by Git triggering a new build. Each build goes through our testing environments before going into production. I also architected the automation of unit and end-to-tests which are integral to each of our pipelines.
I played an integral role in designing services that enable third-party integrations with mortgage data providers such as Calyx and Ellie Mae Encompass using NodeJS, Loopback and Typescript.
