Full-stack software engineer with production experience across Python, React, TypeScript, Angular, REST APIs, SQL, and cloud deployment. Currently building agentic AI systems using Anthropic's Claude API — tool-calling agents, RAG pipelines, and automated workflow tooling. I own work end-to-end: technical design, implementation, testing, deployment, and iteration. Strong communicator across technical and non-technical teams. Denver-based.

Experience
Full-Stack Developer 2024–present
Quill (Personal Project)
  • Sole engineer across the full stack — React/Vite/TypeScript frontend, Python/Flask REST API, SQLite persistence, deployed to PythonAnywhere.
  • Designed data model and API contracts before implementation; maintains clean separation between frontend state, API layer, and backend persistence.
  • Building agentic AI features using Anthropic's Claude API — tool-calling agents, prompt chaining, memory management, and automated workflow tooling.
  • Uses Claude Code as primary development environment to multiply engineering throughput without sacrificing judgment.

Web Developer October 2016–May 2017
In-Situ  ·  Fort Collins, Colorado
  • Built and shipped a production full-stack web application — Angular frontend, Python/Flask backend — aggregating real-time water quality sensor data from remote monitoring stations for environmental field teams.
  • Designed RESTful API contracts and implemented endpoints for data ingestion, retrieval, and reporting; wrote SQL queries for aggregation and time-series analysis against a relational database.
  • Developed data visualization components surfacing sensor readings and trend data to researchers in the field.
  • Deployed and maintained the application on Google App Engine; managed environment configuration, secrets, and iterative production releases.
  • Worked directly with environmental scientists to translate domain requirements into data models and API design; participated in code reviews in a small Agile team.

Firmware Engineer August 2014–July 2015
NetApp  ·  Boulder, Colorado
  • Developed and maintained production C++ software for a cloud backup solution running on large-scale enterprise storage systems serving enterprise customers.
  • Implemented new features and bug fixes across a large, multi-year codebase — required rapidly building context across unfamiliar subsystems and understanding upstream/downstream dependencies.
  • Wrote automated test suites covering unit and integration scenarios; contributed to structured code reviews in a sprint-based agile workflow.
  • Debugged complex production issues spanning hardware and software layers; developed instinct for isolating failures in systems where the problem and the symptom are rarely in the same place.
  • Collaborated with senior engineers on design decisions, learning to weigh correctness, performance, and maintainability tradeoffs in a high-reliability environment.

Additional Experience
Computer Science & Engineering Teacher September 2021–present
The STEAD School  ·  Commerce City, Colorado
  • Teach AP Java (OOP-heavy), Python, and engineering; design curriculum from scratch in a project-based environment.

Electrical Power Systems Engineer October 2009–June 2011
University of Colorado Space Grant  ·  Boulder, Colorado
  • Developed and tested embedded C/C++ software for the electrical power subsystem of a CubeSat research satellite measuring upper atmospheric composition.
  • Wrote low-level firmware to manage power distribution and monitor system health under real hardware constraints — timing, memory, and fault tolerance all mattered.
  • Validated software against hardware in the loop; participated in integration testing with the broader satellite engineering team across mechanical, thermal, and communications subsystems.
  • Gained early, hands-on experience with the full engineering lifecycle from design through test in a resource-constrained, safety-critical context.
