I do my best work on teams that need more than raw output. I help people stay aligned, keep projects moving, and lower the day-to-day friction that quietly slows good teams down.
With 6.5 years of professional experience across web and mobile development, I build full-stack features from concept to production. Just as often, I step into the messy middle: clarifying direction, unblocking coworkers, and giving the team a calmer path through high-pressure work.
At Lumber Marketplace, that meant building proprietary tools like a regex synthesis engine for textual data processing and Prisma code generators that removed a large amount of repetitive work across the application. The technical work mattered, but so did making the rest of the team faster and less stuck.
I tend to fit best on small, capable teams with ambitious timelines. My background in sales, customer service, and theater made me comfortable with pressure, direct communication, and the human side of technical work, which helps when a team needs trust as much as it needs code.
If you need someone who can ship solid software, steady a room, and leave the team working better together than before, that's the role I tend to fill.

Built the inventory management system from concept to production and cleared a set of webpack build issues that were blocking release, which helped the team hit its deadline without thrash.
Built a custom, industry-specific regex synthesis engine and library for raw textual data processing, inventory upload, and search keyword harvesting. First of its kind in the lumber industry - completely proprietary solution.
Built automated generators that synthesize complete class suites for every Prisma model with class-validator, class-transformer, and Swagger integration. Eliminated massive implementation and maintenance overhead for DTOs and entities.
I'm always interested in hearing about new opportunities and projects. Whether you have a question or just want to say hi, feel free to reach out!
