Software engineering
Backend services, APIs, and platform work in C# and ASP.NET Core, Python, and Java. Enterprise systems that have to be correct, integrate cleanly with what is already there, and survive being maintained by someone else.

I build software that has to hold up in production: AI-backed platforms, applications running at the edge on Cloudflare Workers, and Python tooling that removes work nobody should be doing by hand. Below is a running record of what I have shipped and what I am building next.
01 About
I like problems where the details actually matter.
Most of my work sits where a system meets the real world: a platform that has to state facts about real property, a site that has to load fast on a phone in a parking lot, a pipeline that has to be right about which job is worth applying to. That constraint is the interesting part, and it is what I optimize for.
I work across the stack. Python handles services, automation, and data work; .NET and ASP.NET Core cover enterprise identity platforms; JavaScript runs at the edge on Cloudflare Workers. I also have enough front-end craft that the things I ship look finished rather than functional. I care about correctness, about not inventing data, and about leaving a codebase someone else can pick up.
02 Capabilities
What I do.
02
Web platforms
Fast, accessible sites that hold up under real traffic. Generated from a single source of truth so content cannot drift, and put through automated link-integrity, accessibility, performance, and SEO gates before anything launches.
03
Automation & applied AI
Pipelines that remove work nobody should be doing by hand: data extraction, scoring and ranking, scheduled operations, and AI-assisted workflows wired into the tools a business already runs on.
Engineering experience at GE Aerospace, Fischer Identity, and AI Commerce.
03 Web design
Design that looks made, not assembled.
I also take on freelance web design. Every site below is custom: no page builder, no purchased theme, no template with the colors swapped. Typography, layout, photography direction, copy structure, and the front end are one job, and the result has to load fast on a phone, read well to a search engine, and still be legible to whoever maintains it next. The builds marked concept are finished and running on a preview URL, made for a specific business but not yet moved onto its own domain.
SWFL Auto Rentals
swflautorentals.comAn editorial take on car rental. The site opens with the trip you are planning rather than a grid of vehicles, filters the fleet by who is coming with you, then hands off to live availability and secure checkout. Twelve pages, full bleed photography, and a serif display face doing work no rental template would.
Palmer Renovation & Repair
palmerrenovation.comA contractor site built to sound like the crew rather than like a template. Warm neutral palette, oversized friendly display type, and real photography of the company's own finished jobs, with the free estimate never more than one tap away across services, about, careers, and contact.
My Local Everything
mylocaleverything.comThe marketing site for an AI automation platform, and the visual identity that goes with it. Dark and motion led: an animated particle field behind the hero, a serif italic accent face, and a long product narrative that has to explain three phases, nineteen automation areas, and an agent without losing the reader.
KC Equipment
kcequipment.orgA used heavy equipment dealer in Winchester, Tennessee. High contrast industrial palette and condensed display type, an inventory first structure, and an FAQ layer written around the questions buyers actually ask on the lot, marked up as structured data so search engines can read the answers.
Temple Beth El of Fort Myers
Concept build · previewA concept rebuild for a Reform congregation, built to be walked through rather than pitched on paper. Warm photography at full bleed, a quiet serif and a tall condensed display face, and an information architecture organized around the two questions a visitor actually arrives with: when is the service, and will I be welcome.
Evolutionary Living
Concept build · previewA wellness practice built around one instructor and a schedule that changes weekly. Cream and deep green, generous whitespace, and a display serif carrying the whole identity, over an events calendar that reads a private Google Calendar feed at the edge so the site updates itself when he adds a class.
Art & Soul Tattoo & Gallery
Concept build · previewA Fort Myers tattoo shop, rebuilt without losing what it already ranks for. Near black and amber, a western display face pulled from the shop's own signage, and a page for every artist at the exact URL the old sitemap used, so the rebuild could go live without breaking a single existing link.
Built, awaiting launchScreens available on request
Wimmer Regenerative Orthopedics
Launching soonA 51 page rebuild for a regenerative orthopedics practice, finished and awaiting launch. Its release gate flagged the default form handler as unviable for protected health information, which moved patient intake onto a HIPAA compliant vendor before a single patient could reach the form.
Every site here ships through the same automated gates before launch: link integrity, accessibility, performance, and structured data. Design, build, and launch are one engagement.
04 Selected work
Things I have built, and things I am building.
My Local Everything
A client-facing automation SaaS. Businesses connect their tools once through OAuth, an API key, or a webhook, then run automations on demand, with isolation between organizations enforced by row-level security. Includes scheduled multi-platform publishing and a matching engine over an automation library of 17,600 templates.
Net Worth Tracker
A net worth tracker that runs entirely in the browser. No account, no server, and zero network requests, which makes the privacy claim verifiable rather than a promise. Customizable charts, an optional expense tracker, and JSON export so the data stays yours. Hand-built SVG charts on a colorblind-validated palette; no charting library.
Automated Release Gate Toolchain
A seven-gate release pipeline covering link integrity, fact provenance, design conformance, accessibility, performance, and SEO. Each gate is a scripted Node pass that fails the build on violation, turning subjective review into a repeatable check. On a 51-page orthopedics build it caught the default form handler as unviable for protected health information and forced patient intake onto a HIPAA-compliant vendor.
Job Search Pipeline
A Python pipeline that discovers roles from public job APIs, scores each one against a resume, tracks applications through a status funnel with automatic follow-up timers, and renders its own dashboard. Built deliberately against documented public endpoints only, with no scraping of platforms that forbid it.
PDF Reader for the Microsoft Store
A fast, clean PDF reader built for Windows and published to the Microsoft Store. A shipped consumer desktop application end to end, from packaging and store certification through to release. In planning.
