Engineering Manager · Product & Platform Engineering
I lead frontend-rooted product teams through complex, high-trust work. I map the real system before changing it, make hidden state and dependencies visible, and build teams that can own more over time.
Selected work
Across different products and industries, the pattern is consistent: understand the real system, reduce risk, create a usable path forward, and leave the product and team stronger.
I designed and built a Node.js controller that translated a binary serial protocol into safe, stateful bill acceptance and dispensing operations for Bitcoin ATMs.

As Frontend Team Lead with engineering-manager responsibilities, I rebuilt team capacity, strengthened accessibility and quality, and helped steward a live veterans memorial platform—work later recognized in a ceremony by the VLM VA Director.
< 2 months · Administrative platform delivery
At Onaroll, I mapped an unfamiliar production system, learned a new deployment platform, and implemented most of a live Create React App and Heroku migration to Next.js and Vercel without downtime or known production defects.

I turned a spreadsheet-based workflow for legacy clients into a focused internal operations platform that imported existing data, launched in roughly 2–3 weeks, and saved Operations approximately 295 hours of manual entry every month.
295 hours/month · Manual entry eliminated
I redesigned a fragmented Farm Credit website-delivery process into a parallel, reusable system that cut the full discovery-to-launch lifecycle from roughly 22 months to 2–3 months on the first site, expanded team capacity, and supported at least eight distinct association launches.
22 months → 2–3 months · Full discovery-to-launch lifecycle
In 2011–2012, I independently built a WordPress and PHP platform that automated daily courthouse-data ingestion and grew into a connected internal system for staff-reviewed outreach, follow-up, administration, and real-time courtroom support.

Engineering method
Whether rebuilding legacy games into one browser runtime or coordinating software, APIs, serial hardware, and physical cash, I begin with the same questions: What is actually happening? What state is the system in? Which dependencies and failure conditions matter? What should remain stable while everything else changes?
Intelislots
I reconstructed ten C++ and DirectX slot titles in HTML5 and CreateJS, separating shared game states, weighted outcomes, wager and credit flow, paylines, payouts, assets, animation, and events from title-specific rules.

I built a Node.js controller that translated a timing-sensitive binary protocol into explicit acceptance, escrow, dispensing, recovery, inventory, and transaction workflows.

Read the case studyWhat I bring
I connect product, architecture, people, and operating process so improvement in one area strengthens the others.
I map the system, constraints, users, and team context before committing people to a solution.
I make risk and dependencies visible, reduce uncertainty in stages, and give the team a delivery path it can trust.
I create reusable systems, clearer ownership, and shared understanding so progress does not depend on me remaining the bottleneck.
Technical range
My deepest hands-on foundation is frontend and product engineering. Years of full-stack, infrastructure, data, quality, and AI work help me make better decisions around it.
I build and lead workflow-heavy frontend products where clarity, accessibility, and maintainability matter.
Reusable systems · complex workflows · accessible delivery
I trace product behavior through APIs, services, data models, integrations, and the operational work around them.
Daily SFTP ingestion · schema translation · secure data workflows
I modernize live systems around user continuity, controlled rollout, testing, observability, and rollback.
Zero-downtime migration · legacy modernization · production rescue
I use architecture review, testing, production-readiness evaluation, and AI-assisted analysis to find risk early and improve engineering decisions.
Architecture review · production readiness · regression prevention
Next step
I’m seeking remote engineering leadership roles where I can stay close to the work, grow people, and improve how products are delivered.
