About
I am a software engineer based in Los Angeles with a background in computer engineering and experience spanning defense, federal delivery, test automation, 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
I currently work in test automation at Northrop Grumman, modernizing legacy procedures with Python, Bamboo CI/CD, RHEL, and artifact generation while helping teams adopt Git and Bitbucket practices. Previously, I developed C/C++ software and secure deployment workflows at Accenture Federal Services in RHEL 9 environments, and contributed to legacy C++ modernization and Google Test coverage at Northrop Grumman.
Recent roles
Leading Git and Bitbucket adoption across a team of more than a dozen members; building Python and Bamboo CI/CD test pipelines on RHEL; modernizing legacy test procedures; and serving as Scrum Master and technical-review representative.
Developed and tested C/C++ software across legacy and greenfield RHEL 9 systems, including SELinux policies, Bash administration support, VM and physical-hardware deployment, SikuliX OCR automation, GitLab CI/CD, and end-user training.
Enhanced a large legacy C++ codebase, built unit tests with Google Test, facilitated Agile ceremonies and Program Increment planning, and delivered a design improvement adopted by multiple software teams.
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.
