I'm a full-stack engineer with 10+ years building production systems at Amazon, Instructure, and various startups. I take on contract work where I can deliver results: architecting systems from scratch, optimizing infrastructure to cut costs 70-80%, building AI/ML applications with LLMs and embeddings, or improving performance by orders of magnitude. I've led technical development that's helped companies secure millions in funding and built systems serving thousands of users in production.

I work across the entire stack and can jump in at any stage of a project. Whether you need someone to architect scalable AWS infrastructure, build AI-powered features, integrate complex third-party systems, or optimize existing codebases, I focus on shipping solutions that work. Happy to discuss short-term or ongoing contract opportunities where technical experience and execution speed matter.

Remote: Yes. Also open to hybrid and in-person

Willing to relocate: Yes.

Technologies: Elixir, C++, C, Node.js, Godot Game Engine, AWS

Hey. I'm a software developer experienced in designing and building distributed systems. I've been working on a MMORPG that uses Elixir for the backend. This project has been done mostly out of self-interest and curiosity. Currently the game has some players and fans, with servers located across multiple regions.

Prior to this I was a backend developer at a financial services start-up that specialized in implementing payment solutions for non-profit companies. In this role I wore many different hats. I did Data Engineering work in the form of designing schemas and building PCI-compliant data pipelines for use in analytics (DynamoDB, AWS Lambda, AWS S3, AWS Athena). I also built out several integrations to different CRM + ERP platforms. Furthermore I was responsible for the company DevOps strategy and architected a multi-AWS account set-up + CI/CD pipeline for all company infrastructure deployments.

I'm open to any intermediate backend or fullstack developer roles. I have some interest in working within the games industry, so if you have any roles there, I would also be interested. Through my work on the MMORPG in elixir, I've gained considerable experience in designing and implementing AI-Actor architecture + Hierarchical Task Networks for autonomous agents. Technical interests include: low latency distributed systems, systems analysis, signal processing, and graphics programming.
