Frontend Engineer, Part Time Contractor — Frontend Engineer — AI Life Coach Platform (College Prep & Career Readiness) at Koil (Early Stage Start Up) (2026-03 – 2026-09)

• Owned end to end frontend delivery for Koil's AI powered career coaching platform across iOS, Android, and Web from a single TypeScript/Expo codebase, shipping directly against go to market deadlines.
• Shipped the Job Listings Dashboard as a net new, GTM critical feature, taking it from spec to production and directly supporting Koil's core career guidance product launch.
• Engineered a comment composer with a moderation first architecture, routing AI generated content through a backend validation endpoint rather than calling OpenAI directly from the client, reducing policy risk and improving content safety.
• Diagnosed and eliminated a reload glitch affecting app stability by tracing the root cause through the render and navigation lifecycle, removing a recurring user facing failure point.
• Built a reusable useModerationCheck hook with full Jest test coverage, encapsulating content moderation logic for consistent reuse across components and reducing future integration effort for new AI features.

Engineer, Consultant, Product Engineering at Presidio (2023-09 – 2026-03)

Frontend / Full Stack Engineer at PGA Tour (Data Manager Team) (2025-10 – 2026-03)

• Reduced tournament setup errors 40% by engineering course selection, grouping management, and round based logic workflows in React and TypeScript (Vite, Tailwind, Jotai, React Query), replacing a brittle manual process with Java backend integration.
• Cut timezone related scheduling mistakes to zero by automating timezone detection in the tournament UI, eliminating a recurring source of data corrections before live events.
• Eliminated a persistent dark mode rendering defect affecting all tournament staff on low light displays; root cause fix shipped within one sprint after prior workarounds had failed for two quarters.
• Accelerated round data reuse 3x by implementing conditional logic enabling grouping configs from previous rounds to be applied instantly, reducing pre tournament prep time for operations staff.
• Improved backend data accuracy across 5+ reporting states by hardening edge case handling in Java integrations, reducing post event data reconciliation tickets.
• Leveraged Claude Code and Cursor throughout development to accelerate feature implementation, generate test coverage, and improve refactoring velocity across the React/TypeScript codebase.

Frontend / Backend Developer at Florida Dept. of Corrections (2025-01 – 2025-06)

• Accelerated feature deployment 30% by architecting dynamic Razor Pages components that cleanly separated tenant specific UI from shared backend logic, reducing merge conflicts across 3 active environment branches.
• Improved API throughput 25% by refactoring synchronous.NET 8 / ASP.NET Core endpoints to async/await patterns, verified via before/after load testing and documented in sprint review.
• Eliminated 4 classes of reporting errors by redesigning SQL Server views and triggers to enforce business logic constraints at the database layer rather than relying on application level validation.

L2 Application Support Engineer at Ardent Mills (Enterprise Cloud Applications) (2023-11 – 2024-10)

• Maintained 99%+ application uptime across AWS and Azure environments for a multi site manufacturing client, diagnosing and resolving infrastructure incidents with an average MTTR under 2 hours.
• Reduced ServiceNow ticket backlog 20% in Q1 by building reusable diagnostic runbooks and automating repetitive QA regression checks for Dynamics 365 workflows.
• Served as technical bridge between development and end users for enterprise rollouts, translating ambiguous support tickets into actionable bug reports that cut resolution cycles in half.
