Full-stack SWE focused on performance, reliability, and developer experience.
Now: Full-Stack @ Climb Together (Next.js + serverless pipelines + RUM-driven reliability).
Before: UMass Chan (Factorbook 2.0), Capgemini (BMW), tag8, KPMG.
M.S. CS — Clark University (2025).

Goal: Join a product/platform team to 10× web perf, SLO-driven reliability, and DX.

• Climb Together: Lambda + API GW + Postgres/Drizzle → –50% cold-starts.
  RUM + SMS nudges pipeline → +28% re-engagement. Clerk + Twilio Verify → +35% verified opt-ins.
• UMass Chan: Drove Factorbook 2.0 (Next.js/GraphQL) → +40% FCP; 500+ tests; observability dashboards.
• Capgemini (BMW): 10+ microservices, 99.9% uptime, page-load –50%, CI/CD removed 70% manual steps.

FE: Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, Tailwind · BE: Node/Express, GraphQL/REST, PostgreSQL, Redis
Cloud/DX: AWS (Lambda, API GW, S3), Docker, GitHub Actions, OTel, Prometheus/Grafana
Tests: Jest, Playwright, Cypress · Langs: TypeScript, Python, Java, SQL

High-ownership SWE roles (product/platform). I lead perf budgets (LCP/TTI/TBT), instrument RUM/OTel, manage SLOs,
and ship typed APIs + reliable CI/CD. Let’s build software that feels fast and never breaks.
