Father, Dreamer, Builder

ABOUT ME

Passionate engineering leader and builder, with proven success in entrepreneurship, product innovation, technical leadership, team building, and software development across multiple industries and markets.

I'm always excited about collaborating on technical roadmaps, aligning them with business goals, and developing strategic hiring plans. I'm a creative thinker, always looking to innovate, learn and build.

When I’m not coding, building infrastructure, or collaborating with my team, I’m building in other ways. I love working on muscle cars 🧰 with my kids. I also enjoy boxing 🥊 and spending quality time with my family.

PROJECTS

Note: For most of my career, my work (specifically my software/code) has been protected by IP, meaning I'm unable to share samples of my contributions to the codebases I've worked on. But wait! The projects below I either own myself, or are "sandbox" projects made for fun, either to play around with a technology, idea, or architecture pattern. They are NOT deployed nor are they "complete".

GAMEBITES

A Sports Fan Mobile Application. The app connects fans to their sports team and concession stand.

BROOKLYNS

A professional healthcare platform that connects Clinicians with Patients. The goal is to create a multi-clustered environment, allowing separate portals for Clinicians and Patients. Integrations will be independent services that proxy to the backend for data ingestion and transfer.

MAPPR

A Mobile App Service that shows mobile technician routes coupled with appointment scheduling. The objective is to create a product that can be interfaced seamlessly using an API by both web and mobile clients, and querying geospatial data.

DONATR

A donation platform created to demonstrate some extremely basic design concepts for discussion purposes only! The docker images and containers are for local testing purposes only and not an attempt to demonstrate deployable infrastructure.

Supply

Supply Chain backend distributed systems. This also includes the concept of an ACL layer for the Orders service, which would be used to sunset the legacy Orders service seamlessly.

Oliver

An event service used for event management. Create an event and manage participants. Participants can configure their participation level. Will be available in Apple and Google Play app stores.

Travelr

A fictitious SaaS used to search for and book reservations to planets. Search by planet name, galaxy, terrain type, and more! Project will be re-created across 3 separate dev stacks.
