About

Engineering across software, data, and AI.

I'm a software engineer and forward deployed engineer with 3+ years of experience building production backend systems and client-facing solutions. At iConsult Collaborative, I translate operational needs into working software, integrating enterprise platforms through Python REST services, PostgreSQL, and automated data ingestion workflows.

Previously at Coditas, I built backend systems using Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, GCP, Redis, and event-driven integrations, supporting thousands of daily orders and financial data pipelines processing 50K+ records per day.

I'm currently completing my MS in Information Systems at Syracuse University and building applied AI and data-intensive systems around AI agents, tool calling, distributed systems, evaluation, and production reliability.

I enjoy engineering systems where software, data, and AI meet real operational problems.

Experience

Production engineering, not just portfolio code.

Client-embedded delivery, enterprise integrations, backend platforms, and production systems across operations, e-commerce, and healthcare.

Enterprise Integrations & Operations Intelligence

Jan 2026 — Present

Embedded with client teams to translate operational needs into working software, building Python backend services that integrate Therap, Paycom, and Sage through REST APIs into a normalized PostgreSQL schema and unified query layer.
Owned integrations end to end, implementing token-based authentication, pagination, exponential-backoff retries, scheduled ingestion, and cross-source data-integrity validation to maintain consistent client data.
Delivered a full-stack multi-KPI monitoring dashboard with state- and service-line drilldowns over PostgreSQL data, replacing manual reporting in supervisors’ daily workflow.

Built scheduling integrations with Google Calendar API, OAuth 2.0, and webhooks.
Implemented stateless JWT authentication and resilient third-party API handling using Spring Retry and Resilience4j.

Selected Work

Projects built around real engineering problems.

A focused set spanning AI-agent infrastructure, backend systems, data engineering, API integration, and product development.

Applied AI / Agent Systems

Flagship Project

Understudy

Enterprise AI-agent autonomy control plane where an LLM shadows human operators on shipment exceptions and earns action-specific autonomy through measured performance. A deterministic controller promotes or demotes actions across SHADOW → SUGGEST → AUTO with guardrails, tool permissions, and auditable state transitions.

Flagship Project

Hotel Review System

Production-style Spring Boot microservices platform built around independently deployable User, Hotel, and Rating services. Uses API Gateway, Eureka service discovery, Feign communication, RS256 JWT authentication, role-based authorization, validation, centralized exception handling, and separate persistence layers.
