About me

Since 2020 · 5 yrs

I craft digital experiences that make a difference — efficient solutions to real-world problems.

Full-Stack Engineering
Shipping features end to end across TypeScript, React/Angular, NestJS, and PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
Platform & Architecture
Service boundaries, migrations, observability, and CI/CD work on production SaaS.
AI-Native Development
Claude Code, MCP servers, and agent workflows baked into day-to-day engineering.
Tech Leadership
Leading Project Genesis, running L1/L2 interviews, training engineers, mentoring juniors.

Nearly five years of full-stack engineering at Conrad Labs, currently leaning backend and platform and increasingly AI-forward. Day-to-day work on Transect, an environmental due-diligence SaaS, and tech-leading Project Genesis, an internal launchpad that bootstraps new initiatives on an AI-accelerated baseline.

Primary stack: TypeScript end to end — Angular 19 with RxJS/Signals on Transect's frontend, NestJS + PostgreSQL/PostGIS + MikroORM on the backend. On Genesis: Next.js, shadcn/ui, TanStack, Express + oRPC, Drizzle, Clerk, and Pino. Also fluent in Python for AI tooling and pipelines.

Analytical. Resourceful. Curious. Building MCP servers and tools, designing agentic workflows, and training engineers on Claude Code at Conrad Labs. Also a Level 1/L2 technical interviewer and mentor.
