A glimpse into my professional experience.
I've been building software since 2012. Though I specialize in building cloud-based web applications, I have dabbled in many technical disciplines across the stack and throughout the software development lifecycle.
Projects & Products
Catio Console
The Catio Console is the main user experience product for the Catio tech evaluation and improvement platform. As Lead Fullstack Engineer, I own the architecture and implementation of our Next.js web application and GraphQL API server.

Trust Cloud
Spec's Trust Cloud is a real-time security defense platform that is currently protecting the web traffic of some of the largest brands in the world. As the founding engineer, I designed and developed their enterprise security defense web application, then went on to build and lead the entire engineering and compliance organizations.

Confluence
Confluence, an Atlassian product, is the most widely-used workplace documentation product in the world. I worked on the core navigation and discoverability features for their cloud-based web application, and also designed and built their automated, interactive, and multi-stage release pipeline.

Atlassian Navigation
Atlassian Navigation is a core component of the Atlassian design system, which is utilized across all of their cloud products. I worked with a special project team to research, design, develop, and integrate this navigation experience and all associated components.

Amazon's Echo Show is their only Alexa-enabled household device with a screen. I developed an internal web application which enabled marketers and brand partners to create, schedule, and deploy advertising campaigns to devices worldwide in the form of custom camera filters.

ThreatMetrix ID was the fraud industry's first dynamic representation of digital identities on the internet. I designed and developed an interactive graph visualization which allows fraud analysts to inspect the complex history of user behavior on the web across many websites and devices.

Personal Portfolio
The website you are browsing right now was built by me using modern web technologies. Over time I will likely test out new libraries in this very over-engineered project. You can view the source code on my Github profile.
