About
I'm a Full Stack Developer with a strong technical foundation and a product mindset. At Crombie, I inherited an early-stage B2B MVP as the sole developer, stabilized critical user flows, and shipped features — including QuickBooks integrations and billing optimizations — that contributed to a 566% MRR increase.
I'm Anthropic-certified in applied AI development and ship AI-powered features in side projects alongside my core work.
I'm looking for Full Stack or Product Engineer roles where I can own features end-to-end, from architecture to customer impact.

Crombie
Full-Stack Developer
♦ Inherited an early-stage B2B MVP as the sole developer, taking full technical ownership from architecture to deployment. The platform had critical stability issues across core user flows; I stabilized the codebase by reviewing existing analytics and user behavior patterns, then established a lightweight process to prioritize fixes based on actual product needs rather than assumptions.
♦ Researched competing platforms and analyzed user workflows to identify feature gaps and inefficiencies. Proposed and shipped product improvements — including QuickBooks integrations and billing workflow optimizations — that reduced friction for users and contributed to a 566% MRR increase.
♦ Developed scalable features using Next.js, NestJS, and AWS. Built and maintained cloud infrastructure, authentication flows, and third-party service integrations to support a growing user base while ensuring performance and reliability.
♦ Refactored legacy modules to improve API maintainability and system scalability. Reduced technical debt, established cleaner architectural patterns, and improved the development workflow to enable faster, safer feature delivery.
Full-Stack Developer (Internship)
♦ Architected a custom multi-domain architecture using Next.js and GCP, allowing independent portals on shared infrastructure.
♦ Automated CI/CD pipelines for containerized deployments.
♦ Owned high-concurrency Nest.js services on AWS, implementing auto-scaling and action idempotency.
Tecnosan
Full-Stack Developer
♦ Built and maintained client-facing landing pages and internal management systems with role-based authentication, operational reporting, and automated PDF generation. Delivered production systems that replaced manual workflows for enterprise clients and remain in active use today.
