Senior Full Stack Software Engineer · Raleigh, NC

Senior full-stack software engineer in Raleigh, NC. I solve meaningful problems with technology — shipping production web apps and AI products across telecom, legal, and logistics.

About

I'm a senior full-stack engineer based in Raleigh, NC. I like the whole stack — from the database to the last pixel — and I'm happiest on problems where the hard part isn't the code, it's figuring out what to actually build.

I've shipped production software across telecom, legal, and logistics: Angular micro-frontends and .NET services at LexisNexis, full-stack features with Java and AWS at Railinc, and now a bit of everything at Victra — React, C#, Python, T-SQL, and Azure — including AI tools like Field Chat that put a company's real documentation behind a chat interface people can trust.

I came into this sideways: I studied business first, taught myself to code, and got hooked on building things. I've been chasing interesting problems ever since.
