I architect and deliver systems end-to-end — from infrastructure to product. I’m most useful when a problem spans your entire stack and someone needs to own it.

  • End-to-end system architecture and implementation (frontend, APIs, workers, databases, infrastructure)
  • Technical leadership and growing engineering teams
  • Infrastructure management (AWS, Terraform)

AI-Assisted Development

  • Transitioning to fully agentic development workflows using Claude Code for architecture, implementation, and iteration across production codebases
  • Developed a structured AI development methodology — layered context establishment, planning, implementation, and automated auditing — to maintain consistency at scale
  • Built automated audit workflows that detect drift between implementation and architectural intent, triggering review cycles before technical debt accumulates

Experience

Float Health — Staff Software Engineer

December 2023 – Present

  • Partnered with Product, Design, and Operations to translate ambiguous problem spaces into scalable technical solutions
  • Inherited a broken scheduling system affecting thousands of daily operations. Reimplemented it end-to-end — frontend through database — shipping incrementally with zero data loss
  • Designed and delivered a real-time nurse-opportunity matching system using Go and gRPC across multiple services
  • Migrated the platform from EKS to ECS with zero service interruption, then rebuilt CI/CD with GitHub Actions to cut deployments from hours to minutes
  • Reduced MySQL response times 60% through read replica architecture and query optimization with zero downtime
  • Owned incident response and led post-mortems that drove lasting reliability improvements and established on-call practices and runbooks for production services
  • Mentored engineers via 1:1’s, reviews, and feedback sessions
  • Authored and presented ADRs for major backend and infra directional shifts

MTN Development LLC — Owner

February 2017 – Ongoing

  • Ran independent consulting practice focused on AWS infrastructure and Terraform adoption. Managed multiple concurrent client engagements from discovery through delivery
  • Contributed to open source Terraform modules at Cloud Posse, building reusable patterns for cloud transformation on AWS
  • Brought clients from zero Terraform experience to self-sufficient — delivering production infrastructure while training their engineers to maintain it
  • Rebuilt fragmented CI/CD pipelines across client organizations, replacing manual processes with automated builds and deployments via Jenkins and GitHub Actions

Kanini — Principal Cloud Engineer

March 2023 – August 2023

  • Brought in to build a Cloud Engineering practice from scratch — defined hiring process, interview criteria, and onboarding documentation alongside leadership and recruiting
  • Built an Azure subscription vending pipeline using GitOps and Terraform, replacing a manual ticket-based process for the engineering team
  • Embedded with struggling client engagements as a subject matter expert to identify gaps, provide training, and get projects back on track

CloudKnit — Founding Engineer

April 2022 – March 2023

  • Redesigned the platform architecture from single-tenant to multi-tenant, implementing changes across backend services, Kubernetes operator, Argo CD, React frontend, and database
  • Replaced a self-managed Dex identity provider with Auth0 and designed self-service account registration, removing manual onboarding bottlenecks
  • Cut deployment time from over an hour to roughly five minutes by replacing manual processes with GitHub Actions and automated Helm chart deployments across all repositories

Optum — Lead Software Engineer

June 2020 – February 2021

  • Designed and led implementation of an event-driven PII data ingestion and validation platform on Azure using Data Factory, Databricks, and Azure Functions. Non-technical users managed client configurations directly, keeping engineering focused on the platform.
  • Built serverless validation pipelines processing hundreds of gigabytes per batch, with Spark handling row-level validation across the Databricks cluster
  • Spearheaded Terraform adoption talks across an engineering organization of 600+ engineers during their migration from on-prem to Azure
  • Acted as Scrum Master, Project Manager, and Engineering Lead on a team of five
