Work History

DetailerMade Jul 2024 – Present Co-Founder	Co-Founder & Chief Software Architect Co-founded and built a production SaaS platform end-to-end for mobile detailing businesses — scheduling, payments, customer management, and automation. Extended it with an MCP server giving AI agents a live conversational interface into the entire business. MCPFastAPIGKEPydanticGoPostgreSQL ▾ details Designed and built an MCP server enabling AI agents to interact with clients, jobs, scheduling, and payments conversationally Designed the full relational data model in PostgreSQL — multi-entity domain covering clients, vehicles, jobs, services, payments, and subscriptions GKE infrastructure engineered to be lean and low-cost: workloads split across Deployments for services, Jobs for one-off tasks, and CronJobs for scheduled automation — running reliably without over-provisioning Strong environment isolation: local → staging → production; CI/CD with automated builds, migrations, and tagged releases FastAPI + strict Pydantic domain models; async workers; Twilio; Stripe; Zapier integrations
INTENT Apr 2022 – Mar 2026 Architect	Software System Architect Architected the Apogee backend from first commit to production — a cloud-native distributed microservices platform on GCP and Kubernetes powering agriculture software for hundreds of users. Primary backend developer for the duration. FlaskPostgreSQLPostGISGCPCeleryKubernetes ▾ details Designed and built complex PostGIS geospatial processing pipelines — ingesting, standardizing, and transforming large-scale field and boundary data for agricultural analysis Distributed workflows for large-scale data ingestion, standardization, processing, and exporting across the full pipeline Optimized queries and pipelines for large files and expanded geospatial complexity without degrading performance Role-based authentication and multi-tenant data isolation; bucket-backed file storage integration Drove all service boundary, data modeling, background processing, and deployment decisions
Self Employed Oct 2019 – Present Part-time	Freelance Software Engineer Freelanced during university via Upwork and Fiverr — deliberately wide variety to build range fast. Python grew from sub-par to production fluency. PythonDjangoReactSpringJava ▾ details Python mastered through production freelance work — grew from minimal knowledge to efficient, fluent, and production-strong across many project types Full back-end/front-end architectures, automated scripts, Smart Contracts, and IVR development Stayed current in Java, JavaScript, and C++; leveraged Django, Spring, and React across diverse client projects
Cerner Corp. Summer 2021 2nd Internship	Software Intern — Apache Kafka PoC Solo proof-of-concept: evaluate Kafka as a replacement for a slow enterprise data pipeline. Built full Kafka platform — Producers, Consumers, Topics, Connectors, Streams. Apache KafkaEvent StreamingJava ▾ details Built a full Kafka-based event-streaming solution solo — Producers, Consumers, Topics, Connectors, and Streams — proving significant throughput gains over the slow multi-step incumbent pipeline Final implementation encompassed nearly the entirety of Kafka's platform and validated the path forward for the team
Cerner Corp. Summer 2020 1st Internship	Software Intern — Infrastructure Tooling First professional role on an infrastructure team — built internal architecture tooling into the browser via a Spring Boot microservice API and React/JS frontend, nearly from the ground up. Spring BootJavaReactJavaScript ▾ details Designed and delivered a full Spring Boot microservice API backend paired with a React/JS frontend — a complete full-stack project built nearly from scratch First real engineering team experience; developed strong habits around effective questions, collaboration, and professional software development

Background

About Me

I specialize in production-grade platforms end-to-end, delivering systems that solve real-world problems and scale reliably. Lately, I have been enamored with Model Context Protocol — connecting AI agents to real business systems.

At INTENT, I architected and built the Apogee backend from the first lines of code through production — powering agriculture software for hundreds of users and dozens of clients. I drop major architecture decisions and was the primary backend developer for my time there.

At DetailerMade, which I co-founded in 2024, I built the full SaaS platform for mobile detailing businesses and integrated it with an MCP server — enabling AI agents to query live business data and assist with booking and workflows.

I freelanced through undergrad at the University of Kansas to build range deliberately fast. Python grew from sub-par to a genuine production strength. I thrive in high-impact roles where I own the technical foundations end-to-end.
