Scalable architecture, streamlined systems, and thoughtful product features — performant and user-friendly. Five years shipping to tens of millions of users at The Washington Post (Arc XP).
About me
I'm a Senior Software Engineer focused on building scalable systems, streamlining architecture, and shipping thoughtful product features. At The Washington Post (Arc XP), I solution-designed and shipped features across its most-used applications — Composer, WebSked, and Trident — building tools for thousands of internal and client users, powering experiences for tens of millions downstream.
Since then, I've been building products end-to-end: Sideline Reels, a human-in-the-loop soccer video product; GameRelish, a community feedback platform for gaming franchises; and Através, a React/Firebase app for cross-world messaging via antipodal maps. Most recently, I completed a senior engineering contract shipping AI-driven product features across full-stack TypeScript environments.
Regardless of what I'm doing exactly, I'm always drawn to work that lives at the intersection of technology, creativity, and connection.
Professional experience
- Built Sideline Reels (sideline-reels.vercel.app), a human-in-the-loop soccer video product that transforms parent-recorded footage into player-highlighted recruiting reels using Next.js and TypeScript, a Modal-hosted YOLO11/ByteTrack tracking service, and ffmpeg telestration
- Designed Sideline Reels’ durable media pipeline spanning resumable direct-to-R2 uploads, Trigger.dev orchestration for normalization, tracking, rendering, and multi-clip reel assembly, plus privacy-first deletion cascades for source footage and derived assets
- Architected, launched, and independently operated GameRelish (gamerelish.com), a community feedback platform live since July 2025, with 41+ row-level security policies, layered abuse prevention, optimistic React Query updates, email automation, and 250+ automated tests
- Delivered production AI-driven features across multiple full-stack TypeScript applications using React, Node.js, and GraphQL, with rapid iteration and strong automated test coverage
- Led React rebuild of WebSked’s List View, replacing legacy AngularJS architecture to improve maintainability and scalability
- Architected an organization-wide, config-free user authorization system in Node.js, reducing admin support tickets by >40%
