About

Software Engineer II at Amazon with 6+ years shipping production systems. I build scalable microservices, payment integrations, and full-stack applications across React, AWS, and everything in between. Virginia Tech CS grad, cum laude. Based in Dallas, fueled by cold brew and an unreasonable number of side projects.

Off the clock you'll find me on the pitch, on the mountain, or under a car figuring out why it's making that noise.
