I’m a full-stack / systems-minded software engineer with a Computer Engineering background and a track record of building end-to-end internal tools—from data architecture to polished UI/UX. I enjoy turning complex network + operational data into products that improve reliability, reduce MTTR, and make teams faster.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about prototyping, IoT/edge experimentation, and shipping practical tools that people actually use.

- Built and led internal reliability + experience tooling with ownership across architecture, engineering, UI/UX, and stakeholder delivery
- Shipped data-intensive APIs and platforms used across multiple orgs/teams, including internal open-source tooling
- Strong in end-to-end execution, scalable backend design, and translating messy operational data into usable products
Kennesaw State University — Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering
B.S. Computer Engineering (Software Engineering focus), Cum laude — May 2021
Programs / Certifications
- HackerRank — Senior FullStack Software Engineer Certified
- Southern Methodist University, Cox School of Business — LCAP (Latino Career Acceleration Program)
- Udacity — Full Stack Engineering Nanodegree
- Agile Center of Excellence — Leading SAFe Agile Certification
- E2E UX Status Application: Led development across data architecture + engineering + UI/UX + stakeholder management, designed to strengthen reliability practices and operational visibility; targeted meaningful efficiency gains.
- Frontline Sentiment / Issue Capture App: Architected a scalable solution to reduce mean time to resolve incidents by enabling structured, high-signal input from frontline users. Implemented with FastAPI in a Python-based Azure Function App, designed for high concurrency.
- Feedback + Insights Platform: Integrated MongoDB with Go, JavaScript, and Python APIs; optimized storage/retrieval for 1M+ feedback entries. Built a dynamic system that surfaces role- and location-relevant issues to improve engagement and actionability.
- Drove iterative delivery with stakeholder demos, feedback loops, and rapid iteration to ensure adoption.
- Built and released an internal open-source API platform to pull and analyze large-scale telecom/network datasets (multi-vendor footprint; national-scale telemetry).
- Adopted by multiple VP orgs, used by many teams and projects, and helped replace vendor tooling—contributing to multi-million dollar cost savings.
Smart IoT lighting control and “light-based cues” system that adapts to presence and context (break reminders, environmental alerts, special events).
