Systems built for scale,
architected for people.
I design and build high-availability full-stack software and data infrastructure for institutions where downtime isn’t an option. From an IAM platform serving 750,000+ users to SaaS infrastructures processing $18M+, I solve engineering problems with a commitment to lead by serving. I measure my success not just by the code I ship, but by the friction I remove for my team and our users along the way.
Selected Work
Work
Six projects across identity engineering, data infrastructure, and commercial full-stack development — each chosen because it posed a non-trivial problem worth explaining.
Statewide Identity Platform — Kentucky Dept. of Education
A production identity and access management system scaled from a single district to 750,000+ users across 171 Kentucky school districts — built with 99.9% uptime, full FERPA and CIPA compliance, and recognised by the state with the Stillwell Award for innovation.
Franchise Banking Operations Platform
A multi-tenant SaaS platform serving franchise banking operations — built independently on a serverless AWS architecture, processing $18M+ in transactions with sub-second incident detection and automated alerting that cut average response time by a full day.
Identity Monitoring & Alerting Platform
A full-stack operational intelligence system built on top of the district's IAM infrastructure — surfacing anomalies, failed provisions, and policy drift through a diagnostic dashboard that cut average IT resolution time from 1.5 days to 0.6 days.
Koine — Ancient Greek Learning Platform
A personal project turned full-stack platform for learning Biblical and Classical Greek — built because every existing tool was either expensive, abandoned, or pedagogically unsound. Features spaced repetition, morphological parsing, and inline glosses across primary texts.

About
I build systems
that people depend on.
I am a Software Engineer at Warren County Public Schools, where I’ve spent four years architecting the identity, data, and operational infrastructure for 20,000+ students and staff. My work is defined by a core conviction: the best engineer is one who aims to serve the team and the users. I aim place the needs of my coworkers first. Whether that involves building custom internal tools to 10x our technicians' productivity or stepping into non-development roles to ensure a project crosses the finish line, I prioritize the collective success of the mission over individual credit.
The reach of my work has scaled significantly: a provisioning system I designed for a single district evolved into a statewide platform serving 750,000+ users. This effort was recognized with the Stillwell Award (2022) and a featured speaking engagement at the Identity Automation User Group (2025).
Driven by User Empathy, I approach engineering by identifying the “right tool for the task”—whether that’s leveraging Astro for performance-first templating or implementing O(m) sync strategies to optimize Azure egress. I am always a learner, currently expanding my expertise in Go-based microservices and distributed system patterns.
The Path So Far
- SaaS Engineering: Architected and launched a franchise banking platform on AWS, managing everything from polyglot data consistency to CI/CD.
- Internal Tooling: Developed custom user-impersonation and "Step-Up" authentication tools that cut IT helpdesk volume and boosted technician productivity.
- Legacy Modernization: Rebuilt real-time data aggregators for the Kentucky Mesonet, handling high-velocity sensor data from 50+ stations.
