About
I'm a senior software engineer with 10+ years of experience building and scaling production systems, most recently centralizing identity and access for a multi-tenant SaaS platform and leading a legacy-to-microservices migration. I'm currently open to full-time opportunities.
My background spans full-stack web development, enterprise identity and access systems, and legacy modernization. I care most about building things that are reliable, maintainable, and clear enough for the next engineer to pick up.

Work
A few examples of the kind of projects I take on.
Centralized Identity & Access Platform for Multi-Tenant SaaS
Enterprise HR/Compliance SaaS PlatformDesigned and built a standalone authentication and authorization microservice serving 8 production services on a multi-tenant compliance platform used by thousands of enterprise employers. Replaced fragmented per-service access checks with a single source of truth for identity, integrating with the company's enterprise IAM system and enforcing OAuth2, JWT, and MFA-based access control platform-wide.
Multi-Agent Orchestration System for Automated Research & Content Pipelines
Personal projectBuilt a TypeScript system that coordinates multiple specialized AI agents through an end-to-end pipeline: parallel data gathering, automated scoring/prioritization against configurable criteria, and generated output tailored to each result. Explores patterns for reliable multi-agent orchestration, structured LLM output, and workflow automation beyond simple single-prompt use cases.
Legacy Monolith to Microservices Modernization
Enterprise HR/Compliance SaaS PlatformExtracted a core business domain from a legacy monolith into an independently deployable microservice with its own caching layer and dual-system-of-record synchronization. This eliminated cross-service deployment coupling and enabled independent release cycles, as part of a broader migration from .NET Framework to .NET Core across the platform.
