What I Do

I work on the parts of the stack where broken handoffs, bad data, and disconnected systems are quietly costing you money — comfortably operating across engineering, product, and business stakeholders at any level of the org.

  • Full-stack engineering when the solution requires it

Integrate

Connect platforms and orchestrate data across the stack.

  • REST API integrations across CRM, marketing, call center, and ecommerce platforms

  • Data pipeline architecture — ingestion, transformation, and warehouse delivery

  • ETL middleware, event-driven automation, and error-handling frameworks

  • Zapier and custom scripting automation at scale

Experience at a Glance

  • End-to-end API integration experience across CRM, call center, marketing, and analytics platforms

  • Custom data warehousing, ETL pipelines, and React-based dashboard development
