I am a versatile and results-driven software engineer with experience across front-end and back-end development, batch processing, and large-scale data integration. Proficient in technologies such as Angular, HTML, CSS, Java, Oracle PL/SQL, and ETL frameworks. Demonstrated expertise in optimizing high-traffic database queries and maintaining mission-critical systems with 24/7 on-call support.
Currently serving as the innovation owner for a high-impact application that processes over $1B in customer transactions monthly, awarding points to more than 10,000 retail locations. Proven track record in leading complex platform migrations, including Autosys to Tidal, Azure DevOps to GitHub Actions, and Java-based systems to Oracle PL/SQL. Recognized for delivering stable, efficient, and scalable solutions that align with business goals and enhance operational performance.
I earned my degree in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Dallas, driven by a natural curiosity and a passion for hands-on problem-solving. I’ve always been fascinated by how things work — whether it’s hardware, software, or anything in between.
Outside of my professional work, I’ve applied this mindset to a variety of personal projects. These include building my own desktop PC, assembling a custom mechanical keyboard, constructing a functional watch, and even dismantling my car’s dashboard to upgrade its lighting system from traditional bulbs to modern LEDs.
These projects reflect not just a technical skill set, but a genuine enjoyment of tinkering, building, and improving systems. A mindset I bring to every challenge I take on.
Work-life balance is important to me, and so is having fulfilling hobbies. Stamps fill my passport from trips to Italy, Aruba, London, and Edinburgh. With hopes for more trips to Paris or Japan. My sources of relaxation are mostly watching TV, playing video games, and cooking. My signature dish is a simple pasta called Aglio e Olio which I prefer to serve with Rapini. My newest hobby comes with an espresso machine, where I've been experimenting with new blends of fresh beans and different milks as I perfect my latte art. Everyday I start my morning grinding fresh beans, steaming milk, and creating a fun new design to go on my cappuccino.

This website is hosted using GitHub Pages, a static site hosting service. I chose this platform to showcase foundational front-end development skills, specifically in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
One of the challenges I encountered during development was implementing a contact form that could send emails. Since GitHub Pages only supports static content, it lacks the server-side capabilities required to process and send email submissions.
To work around this limitation, I integrated a third-party service that accepts POST requests and securely forwards the submitted form data to my email. My email address remains protected behind a unique API key. Additionally, I’ve configured domain restrictions so that even if someone inspects the site and attempts to reuse the key elsewhere, the request would be rejected.
This solution demonstrates not only the use of static site hosting, but also how to securely integrate client-side forms with external APIs.
