I've been working as a software engineer for 6 years. I would describe myself as a generalist. I've worked in different domains such as aerospace, automotive, and telecom. I've taken projects from 0 -1. I'd like to move away from the enterprise environment and work in a smaller, energetic, and dynamic startup. I'm prepared to wear many hats.

Hello! I’m Kyle, a backend software engineer with 9+ years of experience building enterprise-grade, distributed, event-driven systems in the clean energy and biopharmaceutical sectors.

I focus on building scalable backend systems that perform reliably in production, including event-driven services, asynchronous processing, and ML-powered workflows. My work is primarily in Python, with systems deployed across AWS and GCP.

I care deeply about engineering excellence from system design and observability to mentoring and raising the bar across teams. I’ve been recognized through executive and peer awards for both technical leadership and sustained impact.
