Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Twenty years in, I still get most excited by the problems that don't have clean answers. I'm a senior full-stack engineer with a strong platform and DevOps backbone — TypeScript, .NET, Angular, Azure, CI/CD. I've led large-scale migrations, architected distributed microservice systems, and built developer tooling that eliminated hours of manual work per week. I care about code quality, system reliability, and reducing the cognitive load engineers carry every day. At CEI, I helped guide a division of 180+ professionals on DevOps practices and led the build-out of a CI/CD platform used by 60+ applications. At Lextech, I'm working on Azure-hosted microservices and critical EHR integrations for healthcare systems. I work best in environments where engineers are trusted to make architectural decisions and where there's appetite for doing things properly.
