Software Engineer
I've spent the last five-plus years building web applications — mostly Java and Spring Boot on the backend, React and TypeScript on the frontend, with a growing focus on performance, accessibility, and AI-assisted development workflows.
Since 2023 I've been doing freelance frontend work while deepening my React and generative-AI skills. Before that I was at USAA, Discover Financial Services, and T-Mobile, shipping APIs, improving deployments, and working closely with frontend teams on integration and latency.

React, Redux, TypeScript, responsive UI, and the performance and accessibility details that keep apps usable on real devices.
Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, MongoDB, and MySQL — the services and data layers behind the interfaces.
AWS, Docker, Jenkins, OpenShift, and Vercel. I also use Cursor and LLM workflows day to day for prototyping, testing, and code review.
Featured projects from freelance work and side experiments — shipped, deployed, and maintained by me.
An AI storytelling app I built end to end — from scoping through deployment. Users pick a mood or genre and get visual and text-based story prompts powered by the Google Gemini API. I used Cursor and LLM-assisted workflows heavily for prototyping, debugging, and testing.
A visualizer I built to actually understand pathfinding. You can drop obstacles on a grid and watch A* and Dijkstra work through the maze in real time.
