resume/cv

Full-stack/DevOps engineer with 7 years building infrastructure-critical greenfield applications in enterprise and startup organizations, across both cloud and on-prem environments. Deep focus on modern JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Angular, Node.js and associated runtimes) paired with hands-on infrastructure work — Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, and self-hosted deployments.

Considerable expertise in building vendor and platform agnostic solutions designed to avoid lock-in. Comfortable owning a system end-to-end, from scoping requirements with stakeholders through production operations.

ventures

VaultSuite – Founder

Jul 2026 – Current

• Built and launched a managed CryptPad hosting platform — end-to-end encrypted collaborative docs for teams that want the privacy guarantees without running the infrastructure themselves.
• Implemented S3-backed volume storage via NBD/LSVD and a custom edge proxy to lower storage and runtime costs, passing the savings on to customers.
• Self-manage all environments, CI/CD, self-hosted email, deployment SOPs, payment operations, and business decisions.
• Designed and released the platform in ~2 weeks using an observable, verifiable agentic workflow that decreased token spend while increasing solution accuracy.

Spinroute – Founder

Nov 2024 – Current

• Designed, built, and launched a biking companion app on a fully platform-agnostic stack — hyper/pybikes, NATS, Postgres, Zitadel, and Go services — currently in TestFlight with early beta users in the DMV area.
• Self-hosted or self-hostable across the board: infra, CI/CD, auth, email, and database, currently deployed on fly.io but portable by design.
• Built realtime bikeshare and transit map data into React Native (Expo) clients via geohashed NATS websocket streams.
• Shipped multi-modal routing with configurable downstream routing providers; building a custom routing engine with realtime hazard/traffic awareness, evaluating pgRouting, Valhalla, and Graphhopper.
• Metrics, observability, and health monitoring across all infra and services feeding into OpenPanel.
• Independently managed all business and technical operations, including in-app purchases, App Store Optimization (ASO), and subscription infrastructure.

experience

BCG – Full-Stack Engineer (Contract)

Aug 2025 – Jun 2026

• Led the end-to-end design, development, and delivery of a critical internal app using Angular, NestJS, and PostgreSQL on a secure on-premises Kubernetes cluster; set up infra/CI and shipped v1 within 6 months.
• Drove technical project management across the full delivery lifecycle — scoping requirements with stakeholders at every level of the org, defining milestones, and coordinating cross-functional alignment to keep the project on schedule.
• Cut CI/CD pipeline build times from 20–30 minutes to ~8 minutes through hands-on DevOps work across the Kubernetes deployment and container tooling, significantly reducing infrastructure costs.
• Served as the sole senior technical resource on the team, mentoring and upskilling 3 junior-to-mid-level developers in Angular and NestJS to enable productive contributions across the full stack.

Carbon Direct – Full-Stack Software Engineer

Jan 2024 – Jul 2024

• Developed and maintained full-stack features using Next.js and NestJS with PostgreSQL and Redis, contributing to an AWS migration that eliminated data processing failures by implementing efficient batching and automatic retry mechanisms.
• Designed and implemented an admin dashboard with asynchronous batch processing, translating complex operational data into actionable emissions insights and improving system reliability, throughput, and user experience.

DroneUp – Sr. Front-End Developer

Sep 2022 – Oct 2023

• Led the complete re-architecture of a legacy Angular/JavaScript application into a scalable, TypeScript-based React solution, reducing build times and load times.
• Made crucial architectural decisions and built core UI and data access components from the ground up.
• Developed dynamic form components and custom Firebase hooks that facilitated a smooth migration of data sources.

Kinetica – Software Engineer (UI) & Quality Engineer

Sep 2019 – Jun 2022

• Integrated CData into the Kinetica PaaS, supporting ingestion from 200+ external sources and enhancing the platform's versatility and value proposition.
• Designed and implemented a VM/bare metal orchestration system that reduced test cluster setup time by up to 90%, significantly accelerating the testing cycle and resource utilization.
• Developed a React-based frontend integrated with GraphQL services, including a multi-provider file browser interfacing with S3, Azure Blob Storage, and local systems.
