Software Engineer | Human-Centered Systems Builder | 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.
Currently based in the Denver-Boulder metro area, I am actively pursuing software engineering opportunities here in Colorado as well as in the Seattle Metro Area. I am fully open to local, hybrid, or remote roles in either region and am excited to connect with engineering teams, civic hackers, and innovators in the Green Tech, Climate Tech, Civic Tech, and Social Impact spaces.
🛠️ 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.
