About

I build software the way the Army taught me to lead: deliberately.

My path into software didn't start with a bootcamp curiosity — it started with problems I couldn't ignore. Watching small healthcare businesses drown in disconnected tools. Watching leaders spend their mornings chasing personnel statuses through group texts. Watching people in the market I come from stay uninsured because the process was built for paperwork, not phones. Each of those became a product I designed, built, and shipped.

I'm an active-duty Noncommissioned Officer in the U.S. Army. Being an NCO means being the person responsible when things have to work: for people, for equipment, for the plan and the fallback plan. That responsibility translates directly into how I build software — I plan before I code, I design for the person who will actually use the system, and I treat security and reliability as part of the mission, not afterthoughts.

On the technical side, I work across the full stack — from data modeling and role-based access control to accessible, responsive interfaces — with formal education in software and web development and graduate-level study focused on AWS cloud computing. As a founder, I've carried products through the whole unglamorous middle: payments, onboarding, deployments, and the iteration that follows real users.

What pulls it all together is a simple conviction: the best software comes from people who understand the operation it serves. Healthcare workflows, unit accountability, small-business bookings, insurance in emerging markets — I build for problems I've seen up close, and I keep learning so the next platform is better than the last.

Leadership, transferred

What military service brings to an engineering team

I don't publish unit details or operational information. What I do bring to every project is the discipline the NCO corps is built on.

Transferable strengths

  • Leadership
  • Accountability
  • Planning
  • Risk management
  • Communication
  • Team coordination
  • Decision-making
  • Adaptability
  • Mission execution

Mission first

Every project gets a clear objective, a plan, and honest reporting on progress — including when something isn't working.

People always

Soldiers and software users have this in common: systems fail when they're designed without respect for the people using them.

Standards maintained

Security, accessibility, and code quality are standards, not stretch goals. You hold the line on standards even when nobody is checking.

Let's build something that works.

I'm open to conversations about software development, cloud technology, technical collaboration, and employment opportunities.
