I'm a self-taught Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building production backend services, distributed systems, APIs, and internal developer tooling.

Most recently at GM Motorsports, I worked on real-time telemetry and race-strategy systems, including redesigning Redis locking architecture to improve concurrency and reduce contention in time-sensitive processing. Previously, I built cloud infrastructure and developer tooling at JPMorgan Chase, and Python microservices integrating Salesforce orders with network activation systems at Spectrum.

I'm particularly interested in senior backend/platform engineering roles and opportunities to move deeper into applied AI and AI engineering. I enjoy solving difficult systems problems, owning features end-to-end, and building reliable software that people depend on.
