Senior Software Engineer specializing in game platforms and player-facing systems

Brier, WA27y exp

“Senior engineer with a rare mix of game-platform and mobile content-delivery experience: helped ship the Xbox 360 Party system and later architected the custom multi-catalog asset pipeline behind Netflix Stories. Particularly compelling for teams needing someone who can design scalable, low-memory, high-stability systems for live content across many titles and external partners.”

“Former Special Assistant at the National Security Council with experience supporting senior federal executives and handling national-security-sensitive information. Helped stand up and standardize operations for a large-scale refugee resettlement effort (60,000 people), creating an executive-driven exception/escalation process and partnering with dev and data teams to prioritize agile sprint work and improve reporting accuracy.”

“Hardware operations and supply chain leader in a startup environment with strong exposure to fundraising dynamics, board-level reporting, and the financial impact of manufacturing and inventory decisions. Has spent several years in Silicon Valley managing teams at scale and brings a rare blend of operational depth, strategic awareness, and entrepreneurial ambition.”

Director-level Product Operations & Program Management leader in consumer electronics

San Jose, CA27y exp

“Operations leader with Apple and Roku experience who owned founder-level, cross-functional initiatives including Roku’s Brazil market entry (regulatory, tax/entity setup, manufacturing/logistics, and launch metrics) with direct CEO oversight. Built Roku’s International Business Operations function from zero—standardizing OKRs, dashboards, and country-level P&Ls—and influenced major strategic decisions like exiting a ~$10.5M-loss UK channel business and restructuring Mexico ads go-to-market via partnership.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered medical scribe that generates structured clinical visit summaries using RAG, strict JSON schemas, and post-generation validation to reduce hallucinations. Experienced in making LLM workflows deterministic and observable (structured logging/metrics/tracing) and in evaluation-driven iteration with metrics like schema pass rate and edit rate; collaborated closely with clinicians and policy stakeholders at Scale AI to drive adoption.”

“JavaScript/TypeScript engineer from Ridgeline who built a retry feature for failed staging-to-production promotions with pre-promotion health checks. Brings a backend-scaling mindset to runtime performance work (metrics-first bottlenecking, Big-O analysis, async/parallelism, caching) and leverages Cursor/AI tooling to ramp quickly on large codebases.”
