I’m a systems builder with 20+ years of experience delivering scalable software across cloud, fintech, media, and SaaS. My specialty is designing and shipping platforms that solve hard problems—fast. At AWS, I invented their first bidirectional Infrastructure as Code language, improving GenAI code accuracy by 43% and powering tools used by 70% of Amazon. I’ve re-architected platforms to scale from 250 TPS to 10,000+ (SiriusXM), delivered PCI-compliant systems in record time (SaveOnEnergy), and launched mobile apps on iOS and Android for companies like Carlotz and Fixt. I bring a full-stack, pragmatic approach to problem-solving—balancing clean architecture with business speed. Whether you need to go from prototype to production, untangle a legacy mess, or integrate complex systems like Stripe, Auth0, or Firebase—I’ve done it. Core strengths: - Cloud-native architecture (AWS/GCP, Elixir/Phoenix, Terraform, GCP) - Full-stack development (React, Next.js, Node, Elixir/Phoenix, Rails) - Mobile development (Swift, React Native) - Event-driven and real-time systems (Kafka, WebSockets, GraphQL) - AI and GenAI integrations (Claude, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, MLXLLM) I don’t just write code—I ship working systems that scale.
