Senior Solutions & Systems Integration Engineer specializing in API automation and operational platforms

Los Angeles, CA11y exp

“Customer-facing LLM/agent workflow specialist who repeatedly takes unstable prototypes to production by enforcing strict I/O contracts, validation/guardrails, and reliability patterns (logging, retries, timeouts, monitoring). Strong in real-time troubleshooting using logs and payload inspection, and known for live demos/workshops that teach teams to self-debug. Partners closely with sales by building POCs in customer environments to unblock trials and drive faster deal closure and adoption.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building a FastAPI Python service on AWS for real-time AI workflows (Postgres/Redis, containers behind API Gateway) with strong reliability practices (JWT auth, timeouts/retries, health checks). Has delivered AWS infrastructure using Terraform + GitHub Actions across environments, built Glue ETL pipelines into Snowflake with idempotent recovery, and modernized legacy batch workflows via parallel-run parity validation and phased cutovers.”

“Backend ERP developer specializing in Odoo (Python MVC) with hands-on experience integrating ERP workflows with external SQL databases and handling cloud deployment compatibility issues. Led a migration of ~40 years of legacy data into a modern ERP using scripted transforms and unique identifiers to preserve data integrity, and has experience implementing role-based permissions and preventing failure modes in SQL status update flows.”

“Backend engineer who built and evolved ConGreG8 end-to-end: a stateless Node/Express REST API on MongoDB for fast, location-based church discovery. Demonstrates strong performance and operability discipline (instrumentation, p95 latency, slow-query analysis) with a reported ~30% response-time improvement, plus security depth via JWT/OAuth and Supabase-style row-level security. Experienced in safe refactors with contract preservation, dual-read validation, and incremental rollouts.”

“Builder of an early-stage community marketplace, Cirkle, where they combined product and engineering ownership to ship core marketplace, membership, chat, and AI-assisted listing features. Particularly strong in pragmatic AI product development, using multiple LLMs, structured outputs, validation, and analytics to create production-ready user experiences.”
