Experience

A track record of shipping product and platform work that moves the needle.

From reliability and observability to AI features and product growth, the focus has been consistent: ship meaningful work and make teams stronger in the process.

Senior Software Engineer@CDW

Primary owner and architectural driver across enterprise products at CDW/IGNW for 2+ years. Took Nova from high-level requirements to production as a greenfield AI assessment platform, and owns CDW Auditing Manager (CAM), an internal PCI auditing platform with a limited customer portal tied to $3M+ annual practice revenue. Sets technical direction, engineering standards, and production judgment that support bi-weekly releases.

Playwright

Architected Nova, a 0→1 AI assessment platform, from high-level requirements through production: Nx monorepo, Fastify/tRPC/React, Firebase Auth, Terraform + GitHub Actions on GCP, and MongoDB → PostgreSQL/Drizzle with auto-migrations.

Designed Nova's AI assessment workflow engine from high-level product requirements: chose Vercel AI SDK for Zod-validated structured outputs and orchestration primitives, then built a custom multi-step generation loop (LLM prompts, native Python execution, file ingest) instead of a stock agent tool-calling flow so report generation matched how assessments actually run.

Primary owner of CDW Auditing Manager (CAM), an internal PCI auditing platform with a limited customer portal tied to $3.04M prior-year practice revenue ($1.4M YTD as of July 2026), sustained across 50+ bi-weekly production releases over 2+ years.

Turned ambiguity into parallel delivery for a 9-engineer group by authoring initiative plans and 25+ architecture investigations spanning RBAC, AI orchestration, data modeling, migrations, and testing that other engineers could execute.

Co-Founder@Copiacash

Co-founding Copia from zero to a live product with 30+ active users, owning every layer of the stack: product decisions, feature development, DevOps, infrastructure, and go-to-market coordination.

Launched Deal Summary, one of Salesloft's first AI-powered features, enabling sales managers to access executive summaries with key insights.

Achieved 99.99% sync reliability by leading optimization efforts using observability tools, significantly improving Salesforce integration stability.

Migrated 20+ backend microservices from New Relic to Datadog, implementing OpenTelemetry (OTel) as an abstraction layer to future-proof observability and prevent vendor lock-in.

Helped drive a 350% adoption increase of the Forecast product by contributing to its development and supporting go-to-market efforts over a 6-month span.
