Experience

1. Founder & Independent Software Engineer · Self-directed

   Feb 2025 – Present · Paso Robles, CA

   Independent engineering across owned products, contract work, and self-funded experiments. Operating at the level the Government work prepared me for — without the formal level structure to label it.

   • Founder of VisorPlate (visorplate-us.com): one-product e-commerce store selling no-drill front-license-plate display solutions to car dealerships in bulk for white-label resale. Built from scratch; migrated from Laravel to Cloudflare Pages.
   • Building Widda (widda.club): a monetization tool for YouTubers that lifts affiliate-link conversion.
   • Delivered a contract website for YouTube studio BigHammerGarage (bighammergarage.com), launching this month.
   • Pitched a farmers-market application for VC funding; pitch failed, but the process was the lesson.
   • Built a Discord community and a custom bot using game-design principles — group accountability with a "casino points" carrot-and-stick loop.

   Technologies: Cloudflare Pages, TypeScript, Laravel, Astro, Discord API

2. Lead DevOps Engineer · UNCOMN LLC

   Jan 2020 – Jan 2025 · Remote

   Five-year span building secure, AWS-hosted systems for government and enterprise clients. Owned CI/CD, infrastructure hardening, and security review across multiple production projects in parallel.

   • Resolved 1,000+ Fortify-flagged security vulnerabilities on the CPA project — hardened application integrity end-to-end.
   • Scripted and deployed the AWS Lambda + API Gateway layer that became the team pattern for Java/JavaScript services on Docker/Kubernetes.
   • Built GitOps CI/CD on GitLab + ArgoCD, retiring the prior Jenkins-only pipeline.

   Technologies: AWS, Java, Python, Kubernetes, GitLab, Fortify

3. Software Engineer · Draftboard

   Mar 2018 – Sep 2019 · Remote

   Nov 2015 – Jan 2018 · Remote

   • Designed user-friendly visualizations of complex POS data to support decision-making.
   • Transitioned to consultancy at the end of the contract to support long-term client relationships.

   Technologies: SQL, JavaScript, Data Visualization
