I build and own what I ship.
6+ years building products, not just screens. I take rough ideas and turn them into software people use, working across the stack wherever the product needs me most. I've built products in insurance, travel, and manufacturing.
01 — About
I'd rather own a problem end to end than pick up tickets. I like taking things from the first prototype to the metric they move, and sticking around to fix what breaks after.
Away from the keyboard: gaming, football on weekends, and the occasional side project I probably didn't need to start.

Guardian Life
Dec 2024 — NowSenior Software Engineer
Revamped the dental cost estimator in Next.js 15, helping members compare in-network and out-of-network procedure costs. We shipped it behind LaunchDarkly feature flags to 4M+ eligible members after meeting WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. I also contributed to the member dashboard revamp serving 5M+ members.
I shipped products for travel and manufacturing startups prior to joining Guardian Life.
