i. Liner Notes

I build software — backend mostly, full stack when the job calls for it. Right now I'm a Senior Consultant at Credera, doing client-facing work on AWS, data engineering, and AI.

Before that I was at Alight Solutions as a Senior Developer and Team Lead — shipped a Microsoft Teams integration, led microservices on Kafka and DynamoDB, and watched a hackathon project turn into a company-wide internal developer portal. Before that, Fidelity in Westlake: GraphQL services on AWS, cross-platform SDK work, mentoring new engineers.

CS degree from UW-Parkside, 2022. Comfortable across the stack.

Outside of work: side projects, and volunteer work with DFW Pug Rescue.

Write a .pob file, run one command, get a full website. Built in Go to see if I could make something genuinely useful from scratch.

Saw a gap in my area for finding food, shelter, and healthcare resources. Built a simple aggregator and put it up.
