Who I Am

I'm a Full-Stack Engineer & AI-integrated developer with 7+ years shipping scalable web apps, cloud infrastructure, and revenue-driving digital experiences. Right now I'm a Senior Engineer at AREA15 (Las Vegas / remote), running the infrastructure and products behind a high-traffic entertainment venue.

I lean hard into AI-augmented development — Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Cursor, and ChatGPT — to cut feature delivery time by roughly 35% while keeping quality high.

My stack spans MERN / Next.js, AWS, Cloudflare DNS, and CI/CD, plus deep API integrations (Stripe, Square, HubSpot, Strapi, Twilio). I'm AWS Certified and hold dual degrees in Computer Science and Business Administration — so I translate technology investments into measurable business outcomes.
