What I Do

Full-stack systems, mobile apps, cloud infrastructure, integrations, and technical leadership.

Full-Stack Engineering

Customer-facing applications and internal platforms — React/TypeScript frontends, Node.js APIs, integrations, and production releases.

Mobile Development

React Native mobile apps integrated with backend services, auth flows, and shared API layers across web and mobile.

Cloud & Serverless Infrastructure

AWS Lambda and API Gateway behind Serverless Framework IaC — environment config, deployments, and production debugging.

AI-Assisted Engineering Workflows

Cursor and LLM tools for faster debugging and implementation, with the same review and test bar as hand-written code.

Technical Leadership

Technical leadership on feature delivery: scoping, code review, mentoring, and coordinating with QA and support.

About

I'm a Lead Software Engineer with 10+ years building production software across healthcare, e-commerce, education, enterprise systems, and client-facing business platforms. My work spans customer-facing applications, internal workflow tools, mobile apps, API integrations, and cloud/serverless infrastructure.

At Swing Therapeutics, I lead engineering across production mobile applications, internal web platforms, backend APIs, and cloud/serverless infrastructure — with a focus on release reliability, operational tooling, and system maintainability. Previously, I built e-commerce systems at Spirit Hub, enterprise web applications at Charter Communications, and learning platforms at American Technical Publishers.

I provide technical leadership for small engineering teams: scoping work, reviewing code, mentoring developers, and coordinating with QA and support before release. I use AI-assisted tools to move faster on implementation and debugging, and I validate everything through review, tests, and reproduction before it ships.

AI Engineering Workflow

AI tools speed up the work. Engineering judgment decides what ships.

How I use AI

I use Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot to explore approaches, debug faster, draft tests, and review unfamiliar code. They are accelerators — not sources of truth.

  • — Exploring implementation options and tradeoffs before writing code
  • — Debugging production issues and tracing unfamiliar code paths
  • — Drafting tests and edge cases, then tightening them in review
  • — Summarizing diffs and documenting decisions

How I validate output

I treat AI output as a first draft. Nothing ships without the checks I'd apply to any other code.

  • — Code review — my own and others'
  • — Unit and integration tests where they add signal
  • — Local reproduction and log analysis
  • — Fit with existing architecture and conventions
  • — QA pass before release on user-facing changes
