Experience
Full Stack Software Engineer · Lemon Law Champions
The firm's first full-time engineering hire. I'm building a greenfield internal operations platform, starting with an intake tool that scores case strength, applies the firm's eligibility rules, and routes leads by quality. I also took over a live Google Apps Script reporting system that runs intake, settlements, payroll, and case activity, and brought it under version control with local development, credential management, and a safer way to deploy.
- Partner with firm leadership and operations staff to chase down reporting discrepancies, define requirements, and turn workflow bottlenecks into dashboards, automations, and internal apps.
- Technical point person on a two-developer team: scoping priorities, coordinating implementation, reviewing changes, and keeping shared projects moving.
Software Engineering Consultant · QaasLab
Project-based consulting on client web projects. I lead smaller engagements from the first conversation through delivery and act as the client-facing engineer on larger ones, translating what the business needs into requirements the team can build.
- Built and improved client-facing websites with modern frontend frameworks and responsive UI.
- Supported sales with technical analyses and site evaluations.
Frontend Software Engineer · Ally Financial
Shipped an internal ops dashboard that cut manual loan verification by 50% and funding time by 25%, about 30 minutes saved on every loan. Before that, built a custom landing page and application flow for one of Ally's partners. All of it on the auto refinance platform, which processes around $280M a year in originations.
Software Engineer · Apartments.com
Mostly worked on the Canada launch: localization-ready UI and region-specific configuration. Also shipped new components for a sitewide overhaul and added structured logging for the fraud and upload checks in the listing flow.
Back End Developer · Scrybe
Full-stack work on proprietary movement capture software, with the goal of moving stroke recreation to the cloud.
Software Engineer Intern · Solar Billing
Automated the data pipelines behind personalized solar savings outreach, replacing a manual process. Added unit tests along the way so they'd stay reliable after I left.
Selected projects
TennisFlow · Founder and sole developer
A journal-first companion app for recreational tennis players. Easy logging, progress you can actually see, and a nudge on what to practice next.
Westby4Homes · Solo developer
A marketing site for a home remodeler with 30 years of word-of-mouth business and no website. Fast to load, easy to maintain, and built so he can hand out the link whenever someone asks.
