PROJECTS

Passionate full-stack engineer based in San Diego / SoCal, obsessed with building scalable, high-performance systems that don't just work — they thrive under pressure.

Working from San Diego, I've partnered with product teams across Southern California and remote organizations to modernize legacy systems and ship features that move the needle. Deep expertise in Angular, Node.js, AWS, serverless architectures, GraphQL, and test-driven development.

Whether you need a San Diego full stack developer for staff augmentation, a cloud migration, or performance work aimed at 90+ Lighthouse scores, I bring production scars and clear communication — not slide decks.

When I'm not coding around San Diego and SoCal, you'll find me chasing waves, bombing down mountains, ripping singletracks, or capturing the perfect shot.
