I'm a full stack engineer at Ally Behavior Centers. I build software people actually use: web apps, automations, and the systems behind them. Before this I ran engineering on an AI recruiting platform and kept the network up for 1,400+ people, which is where the security habit comes from.

about

I'm a full stack engineer at Ally Behavior Centers, where I work on the company's scheduling application and whatever else the stack needs. Before that I was the AI/ML systems architect at Skipflo, leading a small team on an AI recruiting platform (Python, Django, PostgreSQL, AWS) and owning everything from uptime to customer support. Before that I ran infrastructure and security for FOCUS: 250 people on site, 1,200 remote, and a phishing-training program that cut click rates by 95%.

I like shipping. Web apps, automation, security tooling, and the occasional game. If you're looking for collaboration, advice, or just want to talk shop, say hi.
