Self-taught. Lead platform role in two years. 7,000 monthly active users across multiple CalTrans districts - terminal technical decision maker across three management layers.
Self-taught engineer who reached a lead platform role within two years - delivering production applications that serve 7,000 monthly active users across multiple CalTrans districts, operating as the terminal technical decision maker recognized across three management layers.
I build ETL pipelines that consolidate dozens of fragmented enterprise data sources into real-time insights, replace legacy systems that have resisted modernization for years, and build AI tools to solve problems I actually have. I care about systems that hold up, code that earns its existence, and shipping faster than anyone expects.
One role. Two years. A lot shipped.
