About

I'm a full-stack engineer.

I build full-stack web applications end to end—designing responsive React and Tailwind interfaces, architecting serverless Azure Functions APIs, and modeling data with Prisma and SQL. I care most about UX that actually makes sense—questioning inherited conventions instead of accepting them—backed by resilient schemas and consistent data.

Experience

Current Role

I am currently a Full Stack Engineer contracting full-time with Phelps Technology Solutions. My work centers on modernizing a legacy store platform by refactoring classic ASP into React components backed by Azure Functions APIs. One of my biggest wins was cutting latency by up to 88% (from 5000ms to 600ms) on the user home page.

On the same platform, I contributed to a full-stack customer support dashboard—designing its metrics landing page—built with a React and Tailwind frontend and an Azure Functions, Prisma, and SQL backend.
