At work

Payroll platform

Nationwide time and payroll for 10,000+ users at Band of Hands. County and state rules, timestamps across time zones. Wrong data meant wrong pay, so we built for that.

Docker and CI/CD

Replaced Vagrant with Docker at Band of Hands. Local setup dropped about 75%. AWS pipelines cut deploy time about 65% once releases stopped depending on one person remembering the steps.

Product features

Shipped with PMs and designers at Band of Hands. Retention on the areas we touched went up about 20%.

Junior ramp

Workshops and pair programming for new hires. Time-to-productivity dropped about 50% once we had typed abstractions, shared fixtures, and CI catching mistakes before review.

Hybrid Platform

Bulk import, validation, queue-backed site builds across 12+ NestJS services. Rolled GCP Secret Manager into the microservice stack without downtime — missing credentials fail at boot, not mid-job.

Lower in the stack

Still full stack at work, specializing on backend engineering. C and C++ on my own time because I got tired of not knowing what Node and PHP do underneath.
