Experience
What I’ve been building
More than ten years shipping production software, recently focused on agentic development, high-assurance systems, and platforms that stay reliable under real load.
-
One Claim Solution · Remote
- Pioneered Cursor-based agentic development: custom MCP integrations, shared context patterns, and a production MCP gateway across Postgres, logs, errors, and Redis.
- Designed and owned an end-to-end AI code review tool from prototype through company-wide adoption.
- Scaled communication backends for 900k+ conversations and 7.3M+ messages; cut timeout bottlenecks by moving heavy LLM work off the request path.
-
WorkWave (formerly Slingshot Technology) · Remote
- Owned backend for Communication Center: omnichannel email, text, chat, and voice across the product suite.
- Delivered conversation integration for the company’s first AI pilot: summaries, sentiment, and topic tracking on live threads.
- Architected telephony event routing and reconciliation to work around third-party API limits.
-
Idaho National Laboratory · Idaho Falls, ID
- Designed and built a nuclear material tracking application under NQA-1 quality assurance standards.
- Established fine-grained security permissions and CI-backed server-side test automation for high-assurance software.
-
Docutech · Idaho Falls, ID
- Built a shared test-runner service used across every automation project in the organization.
- Created release automation that saved hundreds of engineering hours per release.
-
Intel Security / McAfee · Remote
- Built a Rails and AngularJS application that automated large-environment setup for continuous deployment.
- Dockerized standardized test environments so teams could reproduce builds reliably.
-
Brigham Young University-Idaho · Rexburg, ID
- Led a mobile-first redesign of the university financial aid site.
- Built native iOS and Android applications for campus use.
