Staff Software Engineer
Distributed Systems | Cloud Migration | Inclusive Front-End Architecture
I am a Staff Software Engineer and distributed systems architect based in Columbus, OH. I bring a resilience-first mindset to engineering—building systems (and teams) that can weather uncertainty and scale under pressure.
With over a decade of experience at companies like Bread Financial, JPMorgan Chase, and Verizon, I bridge the gap between complex backend architecture and empathetic, user-centric frontend design. I specialize in modernizing legacy monoliths into cloud-native microservices while championing WCAG accessibility standards.
