Software Engineer

I ship, therefore I am.

I’m a software engineer focused on building robust, scalable systems that solve complex, real-world problems. My work sits at the intersection of systems architecture, backend engineering, and applied AI.

I treat software like critical infrastructure aiming to build tools that operate reliably in the background and save people real time. Most recently, I served as a founding engineer, architecting a full-stack platform from scratch across distributed cloud services, idempotent payment systems, and RAG pipelines. That experience sharpened my focus on concurrency, data integrity, and technical decisions that compound over time.

My approach starts with rigorous problem framing whiteboarding, data modeling, and architectural clarity followed by rapid, iterative execution.

Outside of software, I spend my time behind a camera shooting photography and traveling.

Experience

Oct 2025 — Present

Founding Software Engineer

The Blue Collar Pro

Architected and delivered a full-stack construction marketplace (182 REST endpoints, 39 data models) with horizontally scalable, stateless microservices on AWS; production-ready for high-volume traffic. Designed a Stripe Connect escrow system supporting milestone payouts, ACH transfers, disputes, and reversals; implemented multi-layer idempotency and transactional safeguards to prevent duplicate payments under concurrent webhook retries. Eliminated race conditions across milestone approvals, bid acceptance, and trade slot allocation using Prisma $transaction, unique constraints, and optimistic concurrency controls. Built double-entry accounting ledger with atomic transaction validation (totalDebits = totalCredits) to guarantee financial integrity across all payment flows. Optimized backend reliability by implementing connection pooling (15 max connections/container), rate limiting (100 req/min default), Redis caching, and circuit breaker logic to auto-pause failing outbound campaigns.
