About
I'm a Senior Software Engineer based in Salt Lake City with over a decade of experience building and scaling web applications, APIs, and authentication systems. I most recently spent nearly seven years at Verisys, where I architected a company-wide OAuth 2.0 security layer from scratch and built event-driven microservices on AWS to support healthcare credentialing platforms handling large-scale, sensitive data.
My background spans a wide range of industries—healthcare, fitness, music, and automotive—giving him a versatile perspective on solving problems across very different product environments. I'm known for modernizing legacy systems, having led a full architectural overhaul of a live, revenue-generating platform from Rails 2 to Rails 5 and React. Alongside his engineering work, I've spent time mentoring the next generation of developers as a co-instructor at a full-stack coding bootcamp.
With deep expertise in Ruby on Rails and React, and a strong foundation in system architecture and cross-functional collaboration, I bring both technical depth and a builder's instinct for turning fragmented systems into scalable, well-architected products.
