Full-stack software engineer with 15 years of experience designing, building and delivering production software across finance, retail, healthcare and enterprise environments.
Today, I'm combining engineering, AI, entrepreneurship and mentorship to build technology while helping the next generation of developers break into tech.
Engineer first.
Mentor by conviction.
I've spent the last 15 years designing, coding, debugging, deploying and leading software projects across demanding enterprise environments.
My experience spans Java, Spring Boot, microservices, React, Angular, databases, cloud platforms and modern AI technologies.
But technology isn't the only thing I care about. I'm passionate about creating opportunities for people who are trying to enter technology and building tools that can make a meaningful impact.
Build useful things. Teach what you know. Create opportunities for others.
