Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience split between being a software developer and educating the next generation of developers. I've worked at large orgs (Microsoft, SoFi), startups (Fullstack Academy, DUOS) and non-profits (Code Platoon) and bring strong CS fundamentals and full stack experience with a specialization in frontend technologies - meaning I can guarantee a pixel perfect Figma -> deployed translation in the pre-AI era. My expertise includes TypeScript, React, MUI, ShadCN, Radix, Next.js, Tanstack, and Optimizely, with a strong focus on creating efficient and reliable interfaces using React and its ecosystem. At SoFi, I contribute to building production-level systems while collaborating with designers and product managers to deliver pixel-perfect user experiences. I worked on the student loan refinance funnel and drove A/B testing leading to a ~$12 million increase in MRR. Currently working contract at Mercor as a software development expert helping to train frontier AI models. Most interested currently in working hybrid/in-person with a passionate team building something in the AI or robotics space.
Working on the frontend for visualizing LLM governance tooling including an LLM Gateway
Creating rubrics and related metadata for arbitrary software development problems for a frontier AI lab. Essentially I'm the 'human feedback' in a RLHF loop with the goal of increasing the scope and complexity of what an AI can reasonably accomplish in a large codebase.
Taught modern full-stack development at a not-for-profit helping military veterans transition to software careers. Rewrote our assessments and built an automated GitHub Actions pipeline for instant feedback and CI/CD grading, reducing assessment turnaround from days to seconds.
