I build backend systems that hold up under load, under pressure, and under the kind of scrutiny that comes when the data has to be right. My work spans healthcare platforms, student management systems, and operational tools across industries where reliability isn't optional. I own features end to end, write infrastructure from scratch, and leave things documented well enough that the next person doesn't need to call me.
What I do
Reliability by design. I think about load, failure modes, and recovery before writing the first line not as a patch after something breaks. Three infrastructure systems built and reviewed against that standard, in sequence.
Full feature ownership. API, front end, database schema, I can own a feature end to end without the gaps that come from handing off between layers.
Healthcare experience. The EMR I work on handles patient records, billing, and lab results. Wrong data has real consequences. That standard of care is what I bring to other projects.
Clean handoff. Everything ships documented. Nothing leaves as a black box.

Experience
Working on an EMR platform used by hospitals. Built a billing system handling co-pay splits, session-based billing, and bad debt tracking. Integrated external accounting, insurance, and cloud reporting platforms. Led the upgrade from .NET Core to .NET 9 and Angular 16 to 19. Owns financial, operational, and inventory reporting infrastructure.
Helped migrate a desktop-based Student Management System to a modern web platform using Blazor and C#. Worked across component design, sprint planning, code review, and QA.
Led backend development on a waste management platform booking services, real-time driver routing, and online payments built on Node.js, Express, and MySQL. Also built the admin system for a dating platform: user management, merchant payouts, dispute resolution, and automated approval workflows.
