Currently leading web platform engineering for a Fortune 200 digital estate — headless CMS architecture, multi-domain Next.js delivery on Vercel, and infrastructure standardization — built on earlier ETRM and trading-platform work across energy and commodities workflows.

• Implementing a headless CMS architecture with multi-site, multi-domain, and multi-language locale routing in Next.js across a Fortune 200 web estate.
• Handling domains at scale on Vercel — leading ISR and caching strategies and responding to production outages in real time.
• Set up Terraform-based infra repos standardizing domains, redirects, and environments across the platform, with end-to-end DevOps ownership.
• Driving cloud and application security posture with Wiz tooling.
• Led system integrations and mentored 8+ junior developers while optimizing 50+ automated trade interfaces for ICE and NYMEX, reducing manual intervention by 40%.
• Built a cross-database comparison tool that removed 95% of data errors and improved query performance by 50%.
• Engineered a custom load balancer with a microservices-based approach, making demand forecast publication 80% faster and improving reliability.
• Improved backend efficiency through .NET and SQL optimizations, increasing system efficiency by 30% and reducing API response times by 40%.
• Designed and maintained GitHub workflows and CI/CD pipelines across dev, stage, and prod environments, cutting deployment times by 60%.
• Implemented MSAL, JWT, OAuth 2.0, and RBAC flows for enterprise-grade authentication and access control.

Built interactive simulations end-to-end with Unity and C, with ownership across gameplay logic, rendering, and product delivery.

• Built end-to-end interactive simulations using Unity and C with custom gameplay logic and real-time physics.
• Delivered a complete simulation product from design to deployment with strong ownership and engineering autonomy.
• Improved UI and UX performance by optimizing asset loading and event-driven interaction models.

Building full-stack products and taking on contract work outside my main role, with a focus on product quality, authentication, risk workflows, and real-world usability.

• Set up blockchain-based systems for calculating risk on cryptocurrency exchanges as a contractor.
• Built Silkshopper, a MERN ecommerce platform with Stripe, Redis, and JWT.
• Created an AI SaaS project with Next.js, MongoDB, token-based access, and OpenAI integration patterns.
• Built Cascade, a real-time chat application using Socket.io, Node.js, MongoDB, and JWT.
• Worked on PMT, a position management tool with real-time KPI dashboards, Redis caching, and MSAL-based RBAC on OpenShift.

Sharing system design ideas and contributing to open-source work alongside core engineering work.

• Resume notes 60K+ unique views across LinkedIn articles focused on system design.
• Published system design writing on LinkedIn, including a low-level design article in October 2023.
• Contributed bulk update, lazy loading, and drag-and-drop sorting features in open-source work using HTMX and FastHTML.
