Designed, trained and evaluated my own machine-learning models end to end in PyTorch, with no hosted AI APIs: a two-stage classifier (a DistilRoBERTa detector, then a DistilBERT typer across 13 fallacy types) that flags passages which may lean on a logical fallacy, with a confidence score rather than a verdict (Fallacy Detector).

Built a document-intake pipeline that turns messy invoices into validated PostgreSQL records, with a review queue for the documents it is unsure about. Its own evaluation reports 98.3% field accuracy against a 75.1% baseline, covered by 355 tests (Mailman).

Built portable memory for AI chat: a long conversation becomes a compact brief where every line traces back to the messages it came from, benchmarked against a plain summary at the same token budget on a 261-fact answer key written by hand (Herder).

Wrote a WebGL2 renderer from scratch, with no engine, for a voxel diorama a camera walks through on a timeline, for recording video, covered by 620 tests (Trail).

Run this site end to end: requirements written before the code, an allowlist build published by GitHub Actions on every push, and Docker Compose with Caddy for the services that run on a server, on my own domain.

Owned a portfolio of six client web applications across logistics, e-commerce, public sector and retail as the sole technical lead, driving each engagement from requirements and client communication through architecture, development, deployment and ongoing support in an Agile/Scrum process.

Architected and built an automated EDI capture and transmission system from the ground up for Kansas City Drayage, replacing an entirely manual data-entry workflow, cutting processing time by roughly 80% and contributing to a 50% increase in profit.

Set the backend direction across the client portfolio, designing RESTful APIs, service layers and optimized SQL databases (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL) in Python and PHP, and integrating third-party services including PayPal, SendGrid and OneSignal.

Inherited and stabilized applications built by previous developers, clearing long-standing defects and advising application owners on architecture, technical debt and feature direction.

Led the rebuild of an e-commerce platform’s backend and database layer, driving growth in traffic and revenue that supported the product’s successful acquisition.

Delivered an interactive, hardware-integrated installation at the College Basketball Experience, personally integrating a custom application with cameras, displays and a teleprompter.

Built and maintained SWIFT financial transaction platforms in C#/ASP.NET on SQL Server, processing thousands of secure transactions daily for over 400 banking institutions worldwide, including QNB.

Owned the data layer for mission-critical, high-throughput transaction systems, designing schemas and stored procedures and optimizing complex queries to improve application performance and reliability.

Served as the direct technical liaison to banking clients, gathering requirements and delivering customized interfaces and features that measurably increased usability and client satisfaction.

Diagnosed and resolved production issues by monitoring SQL and application logs, maintaining uninterrupted operations for banking clients and surfacing risks and blockers ahead of release.
