Software Engineer · Technical Lead
I build dependable software — and make the process feel calm. Clear communication, honest timelines, and documentation you'll actually use.
You'll always know where things stand. Progress is shared with you early and often.
I scope realistically and deliver when I say I will. If anything shifts, you'll hear it from me first.
Decisions, setup, handoffs — I write it all down, so your project stays easy to maintain long after we ship.
You have a vision for what you want built. I ask questions to understand your goals, constraints, and priorities, so I can scope the work accurately.
This step aligns us on the definition of "done," what success looks like, and the scope of our working relationship with clear expectations for communication, timelines, and deliverables.
Who are we building this for? What mood or ambiance are you wanting to convey? What are the must-haves vs nice-to-haves? What tech stack is best suited for your project? I make sure we have a shared understanding of the work before I start coding.
Especially with visually-oriented work, I share progress early and often. This allows you to give feedback and make course corrections before too much work is done.
One-page marketing sites that set an impactful ambiance and tone that draw in your ideal customer.

Outcome of the project allowed customers to pay for their orders in installments, increasing conversion and revenue.
This was an existing project others on my team had started and had run into snags. I was asked to jump in and see if we could get unstuck with some iFrame and CSP issues. After getting up to speed on the project and existing documentation, I used my resources to better understand the problem and was able to get the project unstuck and help complete it.
Outcome of the project allowed customers to cash in on deals from the stores they love, increasing conversion and revenue.
I officially worked on the front-end code for this project and was eventually pulled into the back-end code as well when timelines became tight. I worked with two other teams whose APIs gave us the promotional information and now customers can buy their oil filters at a discount.
Built the docs my team actually uses for third party integrations and customer privacy.
This stack of documents held contact information as well as implementation notes for all the third parties on a massive E-commerce website. This streamlined communication, understanding, and cross-team collaboration. It also ended the knowledge silo around customer privacy, integrations, and contacts for these third parties.
A few highlights from along the way. Open any role for the story.

I stepped into the software development world late after earning a master's degree and had a short traditional career as a Dietitian. During this period of time, I passed exams in a rigorous internship run by O'Reilly at Missouri State University and was offered a fulltime role.
