Summary

Full-stack team lead with 10+ years building production web software and leading distributed engineering teams. Equally comfortable owning architecture decisions, shipping product features, and coaching engineers; with a design background that makes the front-end a natural strength.

Experience

• Led the development and maintenance of a revenue tracking app directly responsible for $1M+ in monthly revenue; a 70%+ increase since ownership began.
• Own architecture across TypeScript microservices, React frontends, and SQL data stores; make the cross-service technical calls and keep product and engineering pointed in the same direction.

• Implemented first-party SAML SSO with JIT registration for enterprise-grade authentication.
• Automated billing suspension and revenue recovery via custom Stripe event consumers, replacing recurring manual financial-team processes.
• Own peak-hour on-call triage; lead war-room incident coordination and post-incident communication.
