I work full time in federal-sector software development while specializing in the end-to-end design and engineering of my own products and solutions. I own the full lifecycle: requirements, architecture, implementation, and deployment. I apply AI-assisted development (e.g., Cursor, LLM tooling) where it improves throughput, while maintaining code quality, testability, and architectural clarity—not as a substitute for engineering judgment.

I regularly solve complex issues using AI, prompt engineering, and context management—and have completed tasks that typically take 3–4 hours in about 15 minutes when the problem and tooling align. I have shipped production RAG pipelines, LangGraph-based agents, and full-stack applications across multiple domains. My workflow centers on clear specs, iterative delivery, and ownership of the resulting code. Measured outcomes in prior roles include a 40% reduction in technical debt, 70% faster CI/CD cycles, and infrastructure-as-code that cut environment setup time in half.

I work with Python, FastAPI, Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Next.js, PostgreSQL for transactional databases, and Pinecone for vector stores. I prioritize clean code, explicit architecture, production-ready delivery, and modern technology and design practices—whether for internal tools, side products, or client systems.
