About

Senior engineering across product, platform, AI, and automation.

I bring 10 years of experience building scalable applications, backend systems, internal tools, event-driven platforms, and AI-powered workflows.

I'm a Senior Full Stack Engineer specializing in practical AI integrations, agentic workflows, API design, system migrations, event-driven architecture, microservices, and production-grade delivery.

My background spans TypeScript, Node.js, React, Java, cloud infrastructure, Kafka, high-traffic systems, database optimization, and developer productivity. I use AI as a multiplier while keeping correctness, testing, security, and engineering judgment firmly owned by the developer.

BuildOps

Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

May 2024 – April 2026

Built high-scale TypeScript, Node.js, and Java systems — Kafka event flows, database restructuring, legacy endpoint migrations, feature-flagged rollouts, and AI-assisted engineering workflows.

  • Used AI engineering tools including Cursor, Claude, Codex, and ChatGPT in my daily workflow for code exploration, debugging, refactoring, documentation, architecture review, and implementation planning, increasing measured productivity by up to 3x.
  • Improved delivery speed and code quality by treating AI as a productivity multiplier while maintaining full ownership of correctness, testing, security, and final engineering decisions.
  • Architected and developed scalable, high-performance applications using JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js, supporting 100,000+ daily active users and contributing to a more robust and efficient system.
  • Spearheaded a critical database infrastructure migration, architecting the restructuring of a massive monolithic table into multiple optimized tables. This reduced the primary table size by 25% and accelerated query execution speeds by up to 10x.
  • Engineered and implemented multiple Kafka listeners for real-time database change data capture, processing over 500,000 events daily and enabling sub-second event-driven architectures.
  • Developed robust Java consumers to process and integrate data streams from Kafka, enhancing data processing capabilities and reducing data pipeline bottlenecks by an estimated 40%.
  • Successfully reverse-engineered and migrated 40+ highly complex legacy Node.js/TypeScript endpoints to Java, completely refactoring the underlying logic, eliminating significant technical debt, and accelerating API response times by 5x.
  • Utilized feature flags to ensure seamless rollouts and maintain backward compatibility during the migration process, achieving 100% zero-downtime deployments and minimizing disruption for users.

Knight Interactive

Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

July 2018 – August 2023

Led full-lifecycle delivery for websites, web apps, admin panels, REST APIs, third-party integrations, Laravel-to-Node migrations, and a ground-up e-commerce platform rewrite.

  • Architected, developed, and maintained 15+ dynamic websites and high-traffic web applications using Node.js, React, Vue.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.
  • Engineered and launched multiple secure, scalable admin panels using Tailwind and TypeScript, reducing internal manual data entry time by over 50%.
  • Served as the lead and sole developer on various projects, taking full ownership of the entire development lifecycle from concept and architecture to deployment and maintenance for mission-critical client applications.
  • Designed and implemented robust internal RESTful APIs and successfully integrated numerous third-party services, enhancing application functionality and maintaining 99.9% API reliability.
  • Spearheaded the complete migration of a core application from a legacy Laravel/PHP stack to a modern TypeScript/Node.js backend, resulting in a 60% faster page load time and major improvements in maintainability.
  • Led the ground-up rewrite of a legacy e-commerce platform, modernizing the tech stack to dramatically improve security, stability, and speed, contributing to an estimated 45% increase in user conversions.

Interests

The areas that keep me curious.

Engineering depth, emerging technology, and the practices that make small teams move with the leverage of much larger ones.

01 / 7

AI tools & automation

LLMs as engineering tools, not magic.

Building agents, prompt orchestration, and quietly automating the boring parts of every workflow.

02 / 7

Scalable backend architecture

Systems that don't fall over at 2am.

Event-driven flows, queues, sharded data, and observability that turns mystery incidents into 5-minute fixes.

03 / 7

Web3 & crypto infrastructure

EVMs, smart contracts, and trust-minimized systems.

Smart contracts, dApp wiring, and on-chain primitives — the parts of crypto that are actually engineering.

04 / 7

Developer productivity

The 3x lives in the inner loop.

Sharper feedback loops, AI-assisted reviews, scriptable scaffolds, and removing the small frictions that compound.

05 / 7

Content systems

Pipelines that turn ideas into posts.

Multi-stage AI workflows that research, summarize, structure, and ship publishable content end-to-end.

06 / 7

Gaming knowledge platforms

Communities, builds, meta — searchable.

Tools and platforms for serious players: structured guides, build databases, and gameplay analytics.

07 / 7

Remote international work

Async, written, and globally distributed.

Working across time zones with strong written communication, deep focus, and reliable delivery.
