Software Developer / Systems Engineer

I build software that works in the real world.

I turn operational problems into maintainable software—then bring the systems knowledge to deploy, observe, and improve it.

Open to software development roles

Software first Operationally grounded Built for maintainability Tested where it matters

01 / Selected work

Systems built around real constraints.

From business operations software to the infrastructure underneath it, each project starts with a problem worth solving.

Flagship projectBusiness software

East Bay AV Business OS

A custom operations platform that brings CRM, job management, billing workflows, customer activity, authentication, and API-driven tools into one coherent system.

Designed around live business workflows—not demo data
Backend architecture with migrations and relational data modeling
Automated tests protecting critical application behavior

OperationsLinux

Homelab Control Plane

A web-based control and monitoring layer for virtual machines, containers, and self-hosted services—built to make everyday systems work more observable and manageable.

Infrastructure & Automation

Production and homelab systems spanning containerization, private networking, reverse proxying, monitoring, and repeatable operations.

02 / About

From systems in the field to software behind the operation.

My path into software started close to the problems: physical systems, networks, service work, and the day-to-day friction of running an operation.

That background shapes how I build. I care about clear data models, dependable workflows, useful interfaces, and software that survives contact with actual users. Infrastructure is supporting depth—not the headline—giving me a practical understanding of how applications run beyond a development machine.

01Field & network systemsUnderstand the environment

02Operational problem solvingFind the real constraint

03Software developmentBuild the durable solution

03 / Technical range

Focused on the application. Fluent in the stack beneath it.

DEV

Software development

Python, FastAPI, REST APIs, SQLAlchemy, Alembic, application architecture

DAT

Data & quality

PostgreSQL, relational modeling, migrations, Pytest, integration testing

OPS

Systems & delivery

Linux, Docker, Nginx, Cloudflare, Tailscale, Proxmox, networking

OBS

Observability

Prometheus, Grafana, service monitoring, operational diagnostics

04 / Contact

Let’s build something useful.

I’m interested in software development roles where practical judgment, backend engineering, and systems thinking matter.
