I craft reliable systems & intuitive experiences.
Scalable architecture, streamlined systems, and thoughtful product features — performant and user-friendly. Five years shipping to tens of millions of users at The Washington Post (Arc XP).
About me
I'm a Senior Software Engineer focused on building scalable systems, streamlining architecture, and shipping thoughtful product features. At The Washington Post (Arc XP), I solution-designed and shipped features across its most-used applications — Composer, WebSked, and Trident — building tools for thousands of internal and client users, powering experiences for tens of millions downstream.
Since then, I've been building products end-to-end: I architected and launched GameRelish, a community feedback platform for gaming franchises, and modernized Através, a React/Firebase app for cross-world messaging via antipodal maps. Most recently, I completed a senior engineering contract shipping AI-driven product features across full-stack TypeScript environments.
Regardless of what I'm doing exactly, I'm always drawn to work that lives at the intersection of technology, creativity, and connection.
