Backend & Platform Engineer
I work on backend systems, deployment infrastructure, and the interfaces that make them operable.
This site is the portfolio. The terminal beside this runs a live StageFlow scan — paste any public URL to try it.
Enter any public URL above and press Enter to run a live scan
StageFlow, AlchemizeCV, Clear11y, and DisplayAnalysis — each with architecture writeups and running code.
Testing spans API behavior, browser flows, and release confidence work.
Architecture, UI, deployment, and operational cleanup stay in the same feedback loop.
Flagship work
Start with the projects that carry the most proof.
StageFlow
Built a self-hosted scan workbench that runs six scanners against live URLs or ZIP builds, streams job state in real time, and merges the results into one evidence-rich triage surface.
AlchemizeCV
Built a job-search workflow platform that turns one master profile into tailored resumes, grounded project bullets, and tracked application runs through a replayable four-phase generation pipeline.
Working style
What I tend to be responsible for when the work matters.
I am usually strongest where architecture and delivery meet: the parts of a product that need clear system boundaries, understandable UI, and enough operational rigor that the work does not collapse under real usage.
Backend systems that stay inspectable
I like event flows, clear state boundaries, and operational surfaces that explain what the system is doing without needing tribal knowledge.
Product interfaces for technical work
The UI work matters because operators need trust. I spend time on hierarchy, evidence, and interaction clarity, not just endpoint wiring.
Testing that supports shipping
I write tests that catch regressions and give confidence to deploy. Contract tests, integration tests, and threshold-based assertions over snapshot fragility.
Single-host deployment discipline
Rootless Podman, systemd quadlets, Caddy ingress, and compose overlays. Production runs on one machine with clear operational boundaries.
Hiring
Looking for someone who can own both the system and the proof around it?
I am a strong fit for backend, platform, and full-stack roles where the work includes architecture, operator UX, testing discipline, and deployment ownership instead of splitting those concerns apart.
