Six industries that all needed the same thing: someone who could learn the domain and then build it properly.
UI architecture and a shared Angular component library at one of the largest US banks — and, back in 2014, server inventory and licensing tooling for another.
Patient registration, clinical scheduling, structured forms, HL7 v2.x integrations across EHR and lab systems, and outcome dashboards clinicians actually use.
Real-time embedded software for electronic warfare protection suites on partitioned RTOS platforms, including an assignment in Denmark.
Customer-facing portal for purchasing and managing commodity stock, carried through a major framework migration and rebranded across multiple portals.
Internal diagnostic tooling for support staff triaging customer network issues, rebuilt from tangled markup into a maintainable MVVM front end.
Embedded diagnostics over J1939, J1708, and CAN — vehicle adapters, end-of-line manufacturing test software, and a nationwide diagnostic kiosk.
Systems people depend on — described by what they had to do, not by whose logo was on the door.
Banking
A custom Angular component library and SASS framework adopted by teams across a top-five US bank. Wireframes in, consistency out — AG-Grid and Material patterns, Highcharts and JointJS integrations, and Storybook as the shared source of truth.
Healthcare
A legacy 4D healthcare system rebuilt on a modern MEAN stack with PostgreSQL, without pausing the clinic. Patient registration, profile management, and scheduling modules, plus structured clinical forms and automated pre-visit and post-op email workflows.
Healthcare
ADT, ORM, and ORU message integrations spanning EHR and lab systems — data mapping, processing logic, and missing-data reporting. Extended into web form ingestion, email processing, and real-time compliance monitoring for orthopedic precision care.
Healthcare
Multi-year patient outcome data made legible for clinicians deciding on treatment. Dense grids and charts that stay readable when the dataset spans a decade, with custom SCSS themes so each user could tune the view to their own eyes.
Commodities
A customer-facing portal for purchasing and managing commodity stock, carried from ExtJS 3 to 6 and rebranded across every partner. The theming work was scoped at three months; leaning on SASS inheritance instead of duplication brought it in at two weeks.
Telecom
Internal tooling for support staff diagnosing customer network issues, untangled from intermixed HTML, jQuery, and PHP into a clean MVVM front end on a PHP backend. Three-tier LDAP authentication, a flat-to-relational database conversion, and the team's first real Git workflow.
Aerospace & Defense
Real-time C++ for electronic warfare protection suites, built against a partitioned operating system following the ARINC 653 standard. Audio management integrating multiple subsystems and forwarding data over MIL-STD-1553 to the avionics bus, from requirements through delivery.
Automotive
Embedded applications for heavy-duty vehicle diagnostics over J1939, J1708, and CAN. Adapter firmware, end-of-line test software for the manufacturing line, a nationwide diagnostic kiosk, and an on-request live video feed system running on metro bus fleets.
Products I designed, built, and still run — open any of them right now.
Six disciplines, one standard of craft — and no self-assigned percentages.
Where most of my last decade has gone.
The half of full-stack people forget to ask about.
Architecture I run in production, not just on a résumé.
How the work actually reaches production.
Deterministic code, where late is the same as wrong.
The part that isn't code.
Twenty years of walking into unfamiliar domains and leaving them better instrumented.
Charlotte, NC
Team lead for UI development and architecture. Built a SASS framework and a custom Angular component library now used by teams across the bank, drove the Tailwind and Storybook adoption that made UI consistent between applications, and mentor junior developers on TypeScript, Angular, and SASS.
Winston-Salem, NC
Modernized healthcare systems end to end — a legacy 4D platform rebuilt on the MEAN stack with PostgreSQL, HL7 v2.x integrations across EHR and lab systems, and clinical modules for registration, scheduling, and structured forms. Also stood up the team's GitLab, Jira, and Azure infrastructure at a ten-person company.
Chicago, IL
Front-end design and implementation for a customer-facing commodity trading portal. Led the ExtJS 3 to 6 upgrade, owned theming across every portal brand, and worked directly with the Sencha team on component issues and Linux build bugs.
Durham, NC
Owned internal sites that support staff used to diagnose customer network issues, from design through deployment. Converted the codebase to an MVVM front end, designed three-tier LDAP authentication, moved the team from waterfall to Agile, and wrote the Git and deployment tooling everyone used.
Winston-Salem, NC
Built web-based software DBAs used to manage inventory and licensing data for every server company-wide. Primary developer on licensing, implementing the UI against an MVC architecture and writing mass-update scripts to reshape large volumes of SQL data.
Greensboro, NC
Designed, tested, and shipped embedded applications for the automotive industry across J1939, J1708, and CAN. Led a small team of engineers and testers through R&D — most visibly a vehicle diagnostic kiosk deployed nationwide — alongside adapter firmware and end-of-line manufacturing test software.
Warner Robins, GA
Real-time software for electronic warfare protection suites, from architectural design through delivery. Key engineer on a processor upgrade built against a partitioned operating system, and lead developer on an audio management system integrating multiple subsystems over MIL-STD-1553. Coordinated daily stand-ups and built tooling that streamlined the team's development lifecycle.
Århus, Denmark
A year-long assignment abroad writing C++ test software for new embedded systems running on VxWorks 653 against the ARINC 653 standard. Built the shared wiki and forums that kept the Danish and US business units in sync — carefully, given ITAR constraints.
I'm an engineer who never picked a lane. I started in real-time embedded C++ on aircraft protection systems, spent years in full-stack healthcare platforms moving HL7 messages between hospitals and labs, and now lead UI architecture for applications used across a global bank.
What carries between them isn't a framework — it's a way of working. Learn the domain before you touch the code. Assume the person on the other end is tired and in a hurry. Build the thing so the next developer doesn't curse you. A missed frame on an ARINC 653 partition and a mislabeled button on a clinical form are the same category of mistake, just with different blast radii.
Between all of it sits the thing I love most — the details. The space between elements, the easing on a transition, the exact moment an interface feels alive. This whole site is hand-tuned to prove it.

Audio & Creative Media
Music production and creative media work, where the same craft that shapes clean code shapes clean sound.
Home Improvement
A home-improvement venture in the works — bringing the build-it-right mindset from software into the physical world.
Have something to build — in a browser, a backend, or on a board? Let's talk.
LinkedIn is the fastest way to reach me. GitHub has the code, and my résumé is a click away. Based in Winston-Salem, NC, working with teams anywhere.
