Backend & Infrastructure Engineer

Delivering Measurable Impact

From building manufacturing platforms saving $350k/year at Lockheed Martin to shipping cloud-native SaaS applications from idea to launch.

About Me

I’m a backend‑leaning full‑stack engineer who loves turning real‑world workflows into reliable software. UConn CS grad with a systems‑level C/C++ foundation that keeps me focused on performance, correctness, and observability.

I work end‑to‑end: model the data and APIs, build the services, wire up CI/CD and containerized deploys, and instrument everything so issues are traceable and rollbacks are fast. I value static types and automation to reduce toil and errors.

My daily tools are TypeScript, SQL, Docker, and AWS. I enjoy shipping products, and I’m always looking for roles where ownership and measurable impact matter.
