About Me
I am a Senior Software Engineer at SOCi, where I help build cloud-native products for multi-location and local businesses. Previously, I led engineering efforts at Muso.ai and founded Qarii, shipping multiple products end to end.
Day to day I work mainly with modern JavaScript and Node.js, building web applications and APIs with React, Vue, Next.js, D3.js, and related tooling. I also use Python, PHP, and Rust where they fit best to deliver reliable, maintainable systems.
On the data and infrastructure side, I work with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, AWS Neptune, and Redis, running on AWS and containerized with Docker. I rely on services like AWS Lambda, SQS, SNS, and tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, NeoVIM, and shell scripting to automate deployments and streamline development.
