Software Engineer | Full-Stack Systems | Former Small Business Founder | Seattle ⇄ Denver
I am a software engineer with a multidisciplinary professional background, driven by a fundamental approach to problem-solving and system design. Highly adaptable and tech-agnostic, I focus on building efficient, secure, and maintainable solutions that respect both technical and operational constraints.
Before pivoting fully into computer science, I spent over seven years operating an independent architectural visualization sole proprietorship. That chapter trained me to do three things exceptionally well: translate ambiguous client requirements into precise technical specifications, manage complex asset pipelines, and systematically debug structural design conflicts before they hit the execution phase. I have a first-hand understanding of client management, project scoping, and business logic; I don't just write code, I build software that solves real-world organizational and human problems.
🛠️ ACTIVE ENGAGEMENTS:
• Environmental Lighting Ecosystem (Commissioned IoT): Prototyping a custom hardware-software control interface linking web UI states to physical microcontrollers for the tabletop gaming community. Engineering focus: Evaluating low-latency communication protocols (MQTT) and resilient hardware state synchronization with an intuitive real-time UX.
• ADA Housing Finder (Civic Tech / Geospatial): Designing a centralized full-stack marketplace aimed at reducing the friction people face when searching for verified accessible housing. Engineering focus: Aggregating fragmented property data, designing secure multi-role database schemas (seekers, landlords, agencies), and mapping spatial data relationships for localized search.
• Legacy Migration Showcase (Full-Stack Architecture): Architecting the end-to-end modernization of my digital presence, mapping the migration path from static legacy frameworks to a decoupled, fully automated dynamic deployment pipeline.
🎓 MENTORSHIP and MASTERY:
As a Computer Science Teaching Assistant, I mentor emerging developers in complex logic and architectural patterns. My focus covers algorithmic analysis, cloud computing, software architecture, design patterns, and secure software development. This role keeps my fundamentals sharp through weekly sessions breaking down data structures and auditing code, ensuring my own design decisions are rooted in industry best practices.
Relocating to the Denver-Boulder metro area in mid-2026. Actively seeking collaborative roles where I can drive meaningful social, environmental, or community impact. Open to opportunities in both Colorado and my home roots of Seattle.
