Dallas, Texas, United States
I’m a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience architecting and developing scalable web and mobile systems, with clients ranging from small startups to Fortune 100 companies. I'm currently building the new eCommerce platform for the world's largest restaurant company, focusing on Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, SQL, and other cloud-native solutions. Beyond development, I'm a co-organizer of the Dallas Software Developers Meetup and the Commit Your Code Conference, some of the largest developer events in the DFW area. I'm also a content creator and mentor focused on helping those early in their software development career. My opinions are my own
