About
I build the infrastructure that other engineers depend on — real-time streaming platforms, distributed data pipelines, and high-reliability backends that operate 24/7 with no tolerance for correctness failures. My technical differentiator is depth across the full stack: from Python C-API extension modules interfacing with Linux kernel drivers at the systems level, to FastAPI REST APIs backed by PostgreSQL and Kafka at the application layer.
I've spent my career in regulated, high-assurance environments — avionics software under DO-178B/C, mission-critical AWS platforms with strict SLAs — where the cost of failure is real. That instinct for correctness, reliability, and observability is what I bring to every system I build.
Projects
A production-pattern REST API for NWSL team rosters demonstrating a full modern Python backend stack. Seven REST endpoints with Pydantic request validation, SQLAlchemy ORM backed by PostgreSQL, and automatic OpenAPI documentation. Publishes Kafka events on all data mutations. Two Airflow DAGs for roster workflow orchestration. Fully containerized with Docker Compose — API, PostgreSQL, Kafka, and Zookeeper in a single command. Includes a 26-test pytest suite with fixture-based isolation and CI-ready test database.
