Worked closely with product owners at GovTribe to shape, build, and refine full-stack web features that help businesses find and manage government contracting opportunities.
Built and maintained an industry-leading B2B ordering platform. Alongside writing code, I led a team of developers, improved workflows, and made sure everyone had a supportive environment to do their best work.

I love improving the tools that I (and many other developers) rely on. I fixed a Svelte persistent-layout bug in Inertia.js, added the "insert or ignore" query clause to Laravel, improved Laravel SQL Server performance by 30%, and contributed to the official Svelte, Laravel, and Node Pixel docs.
Built a live order pickup display powered by a Raspberry Pi that connects directly to Shopify. Made for Bonsai Paper Co. at NorthPark Center.
A shared Pomodoro timer on the web that synchronizes focus sessions every hour on the hour, helping over 6,800 monthly remote workers stay focused together.
Designed and 3D printed a custom mount to attach a portable monitor directly to my Steam Deck. Started as a fun weekend project and was featured in PCWorld.
Restored multiple Sony Aibo robot dogs by troubleshooting faulty sensors and repairing worn mechanical joints.
Designed a reusable aquarium filter basket that holds loose carbon and a pre-filter, making it easy to wash and refill instead of buying disposable cartridges.
