About
I am a software engineer based in San Diego with a background in computer engineering and experience spanning defense, federal delivery, and independent full-stack and infrastructure projects. My work tends to center on systems that need to be understood deeply, maintained responsibly, and delivered with operational discipline.
Professional focus
I am especially interested in backend systems, Linux environments, cloud infrastructure, automation, and the broader engineering patterns that make software easier to operate over time. I value maintainability, clarity, and execution discipline more than novelty for its own sake.
Experience summary
At Accenture Federal Services, I have worked within a small, high-output team supporting development, testing, system configuration, documentation, training, and secure deployment workflows in Red Hat 9 environments across both virtual and physical hardware. Before that, at Northrop Grumman, I contributed to a large legacy C++ codebase, built unit tests with Google Test, led Agile ceremonies, and delivered a design improvement that was adopted beyond my immediate team.
Recent roles
Development, testing, SELinux policy work, system administration support, technical documentation, end-user training, and delivery across Red Hat 9 environments in mission-driven settings.
Legacy C++ enhancement work, unit testing with Google Test, Agile coordination, and a design contribution that scaled beyond the immediate team.
How I work
I prefer to read systems carefully before changing them, keep implementations reviewable, and connect technical choices to long-term maintainability. That approach carries through whether I am debugging low-level issues, building deployment workflows, shaping backend logic, or shipping production-facing web systems.
