### experience
Senior Software Engineer / Technical LeadMar 2019 – Present
Asurion — Nashville, TN
- >Architected a configurable, multi-tenant platform processing millions of requests daily across global regionsworking directly with product, operations, and international stakeholders to get the abstractions right. 15+ products and more than a dozen teams currently build on it directly without platform-side changes.
- >Defined shared service contracts, component libraries, and observability baselines that became the default integration path for the broader engineering org. New team integrations that previously took about 6 weeks now land in 5 days on average.
- >Replaced ad-hoc deployments with automated validation gates and staged rollouts across a multi-region platform. Overall incident rate dropped 60%, deployment related incidents dropped by 75% and uptime stabilized at 99.6%, giving downstream teams an SLA they could actually plan against.
- >Mentored engineers on distributed systems design and production ownership. Cut new-hire ramp time on the platform — from 8 to 4 weeks — and developed mid-level engineers into leads on complex platform work. 11 mentees promoted within 4 years.
- >Built agentic AI pipelines for code generation, automated review, and operational tasks. Compressed the team's PR-to-merge cycle by ~25% and automated ~40% of routine review work — freeing engineers to focus on design problems instead of mechanical ones.
Senior Web DeveloperDec 2016 – Nov 2018
OBERD — Kansas City, MO
- >Designed and shipped full-stack analytics features (React, Node.js, Elasticsearch, Redis) for a healthcare platform used by hospital systems for patient outcomes reporting. The query builder became a core part of how clinical teams tracked performance of targeted groups of patients.
- >Owned the data pipeline and analytics UI layer. Optimized query performance by 15% and built tools to create dashboards that clinical users could use without engineering support.
Chief Technical OfficerOct 2014 – Nov 2016
Eventr.io
- >Set technical direction and owned the full platform roadmap for an event management startup, making foundational architecture decisions that allowed a small team to scale product surface quickly.
- >Hired, led, and mentored engineering staff while remaining hands-on across Node.js services, MongoDB data modeling, and frontend delivery.
Early Career: Software Engineer & Consultant2011 – 2016

- >Built full-stack web applications across a range of industries and team sizes using Node.js, Python/Django, C#, React, and relational and document databases.
- >Consulted for Fortune 500 clients (Vector Media Group) and contributed to large-scale data migrations, REST API design, and multi-platform frontend delivery.
