Designed systems to manage highly complex onboarding business logic for an innovative credit card program, with more and more features added every quarter such as auto loan refinancing and progressively more fine-tunable underwriting criteria.

Wrote and maintained payment systems to ensure a high degree of reliability, auditability, and regulatory compliance.

Bootstrapped or evangelized many important operational and DX foundations such as:

* request tracing and logging utilities

* self-service alerts

* designed our internal framework to let developers create services on Lambda behind SQS, API Gateway, SNS, etc while getting uniformly good observability and error handling automatically

* database migration tooling

* improve adherence to clean architecture

* feature flagging to allow more frequent deployments

Pushed for streamlining access to agentic coding tools to ship faster:

* engaged management for budgetary support for AI coding tools

* developed agent orchestration tooling in-house

* led working sessions to discuss how we can leverage AI in our development processes

Tech lead on an upcoming interactive, customer-facing product featuring WebRTC and realtime compositing + streaming. Evolved it from a POC to a scalable product deployed on GCP as the main backend engineer.

Made prototypes for a dynamic video compositor in C++ based on a few different AV/graphics stacks.

Languages: C++, Go, TypeScript

Technologies: Kubernetes, FFmpeg, SDL2, WebRTC, React

Provided software engineering support to DoD projects, especially software assurance of C/C++ flight software and ground systems.

Developed many processes and tools to lower the cost and learning curve of auditing and comparing codebase versions for architectural change assessments. Led teams of SMEs using this approach to get meaningful analysis of software project quality trends over many sprints.

My department used a programmable static analyzer to hunt for software vulnerabilities. I Improved the results of static analysis tasks by implementing more sophisticated static analysis passes. Lowered the risk and cost of implementing new static analysis passes by modernizing the codebase with automatic builds, unit and functional tests, and more expressive API extensions.

Software development of internal web applications in Python and PHP.

Wrote concurrent web scrapers using PHP, PhantomJS, and Python+Selenium.

Developed FeedTelligence, an n-gram analytical tool that integrates with the Feedonomics platform to improve your SEO with feedback from what real users are searching for.

Wrote several PHP-based microservices and webhooks to extend the capabilities of the Feedonomics platform.

Evangelized safer and more modern PHP dev practices. Consolidated common crawl tasks by writing a reusable/analyst-controllable crawl script, reducing dev costs.
