Software and solutions engineer. I build the backend systems, LLM services, and internal platforms a business runs on, and I size them for the load they will actually see.

Specification

Functions
Software and solutions engineering: backend systems, APIs, data platforms, LLM orchestration, and the internal tooling that turns a business problem into something that ships.
Materials
TypeScript, Python, Node, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker.

Deployment
Azure and GCP at work. This site runs on a single VPS I set up by hand.
1 VPS · $12 / mo
Current duty
Western Allied Mechanical. Built a multi-agent LLM service that cut proposal turnaround from two hours to fifteen minutes. Own the internal data platform that replaced a set of disconnected project tools. Solutions work end to end: find the bottleneck, design the system, ship it, keep it running.
2 h → 15 min
Origin
Started as a mechanical design engineer. Three years of requirements, physical constraints, and equipment that had to keep working after handoff. Software got the same instinct.

In development

Four references in design. None is running yet, so none is listed as running. Each will be commissioned on this host with a write-up of the tradeoffs.

  • Task APIIn development

    A multi-user task manager backend with the unglamorous parts done properly: sign-in, validation, migrations, tests.

    Node · Fastify · PostgreSQL · Docker

  • URL shortenerIn development

    Short links that redirect fast, with the rate limiter written by hand instead of pulled from a package.

    Node · Redis · PostgreSQL

  • Real-time chatIn development

    Rooms, message history, and presence, built to run on more than one server from the first day.

  • Background jobsIn development

    Upload a file, get it processed later, with retries, a dead-letter queue, and a live dashboard.
