Senior Software Engineer

I build digital experiences that scale.

Teams I’ve built with

Background.

I’m a senior software engineer with more than a decade of experience shipping work across desktop and mobile. Most of that time has been on frontend architecture and WordPress full-stack development: the parts of a product that have to stay fast as traffic and teams grow.

I’ve worked in large, distributed teams at Anaconda, Warner Bros. Discovery, Mozilla, and Esri, contributing to products used at scale and helping modernize legacy systems without sacrificing stability or delivery speed.

I care about craftsmanship, collaboration, and building software that genuinely helps people.

Based in Rialto, CA. Husband and father. Usually the one suggesting Korean BBQ and soju, with an MCU rewatch if there’s time.

How I like to work.

I’m most effective on teams that value:

  • Real-world problem solving over trivia
  • Thoughtful technical discussions and tradeoffs
  • Inclusivity and diversity
  • A sustainable pace and healthy work-life balance

In interviews, I’d rather walk through past projects, architecture decisions, and real code than work through LeetCode puzzles. That is how the job actually goes day to day, and it tells us both far more.
