Web apps, integrations, and data pipelines for companies that need them to hold up. On my own time, Formship, HasteCV, and four small games, all shipped.
I’m a software engineer in Orlando. Most of my work is the unglamorous middle of a product: the migration nobody wants to own, the integration that has to fail loudly, the pipeline that has to be right before anyone is awake. At Mouseflow that meant moving the analytics dashboard off jQuery and running the integrations platform across Shopify, WordPress, Optimizely, and Salesforce. At Cencora it means Python tooling and CI/CD around production data pipelines on Databricks and SQL Server.
On my own time I finish things. Formship is a coaching SaaS with a multi-step orchestration behind its quizzes. HasteCV is a resume builder with its own MCP server. I have shipped four small games in three engines, art included. I run my own job search through the tools I built, so I find out quickly when one of them is not worth much.
What I want next is a team where the systems are the product and shipping the whole thing is the job. If that team makes games, or puts applied AI in front of real users, better.

Featured work01
A SaaS that turns coaching frameworks into structured learning programs. I designed and built the agentic-AI orchestration system behind its quizzes and modular content, solo.
A League of Legends gold-efficiency tool built around the question item designers balance against, what is a stat point actually worth. Scores every item, compares full builds, auto-syncs from Riot's API weekly.
An AI resume and cover-letter builder with a structured document model, rich-text editing, and an MCP server that lets AI clients read and edit documents directly.
A real-time coffee storefront in Vue and Node, shipped as a fast MVP. Cart, inventory, and ordering on Firebase.

An engine pivot with the clock running, a core mechanic that fought back, and the lesson that readability is a mechanic.

How I Won't Be Abducted ramps difficulty with zero new mechanics: every knob lives in a Godot resource, and the player's kit never changes.
