Carbon sequestration startup developing a fleet of autonomous terraforming robots that inject wood underground to capture carbon and generate carbon credits. The platform covers real-time robot control across multi-acre field deployments and a site monitoring system for managing land elevation progress at scale.

• Led a cross-functional software and mechanical engineering team to design, source, and build a fleet of autonomous terraforming robots deployed across 2-acre work sites.
• Built an iOS control application communicating with robots via BLE and Modbus protocols, achieving sub-300ms latency across the full deployment area.
• Developed a real-time monitoring platform for carbon injection sites, giving site managers visibility into land elevation progress and tools to make testable, data-driven decisions.
• Architected backend infrastructure using NestJS and Cloudflare to support multi-site coordination, observability, and geospatial data rendering via MapBox.

AI-powered reference-checking platform that automates recruiter workflows by delegating reference collection to AI. Candidates respond via SMS, voice, or web — eliminating friction and scaling throughput without adding headcount.

• Scaled the platform from MVP to a full production service, achieving 5× user capacity at 1/3 the original infrastructure cost.
• Integrated OpenAI to automate reference collection across SMS, voice, and web channels, growing monthly candidate conversion from 15 to 40.
• Architected the Python/Java backend with Spring Boot and MySQL on AWS, including HubSpot integration for recruiter pipeline automation.
• Designed the full React frontend with a modular component system, landing page, and brand identity — cutting development time in half.

Social outdoor adventure platform connecting outdoor enthusiasts to activities and adventure partners. Features cooperative geospatial editing, in-app messaging, and ML-driven athlete matching.

• Built the native iOS app in Swift from the ground up to connect outdoor enthusiasts with adventures, ski partners, and local guides.
• Re-architected the full backend from a Firebase prototype to a scalable DigitalOcean/Docker stack, achieving 12× traffic capacity at the same infrastructure cost.
• Designed and trained a TensorFlow ML model for automated athlete categorization, contributing to 3× user growth.
• Integrated MapBox for real-time cooperative geospatial editing and location-aware activity discovery.

Checkout platform engineering at one of the world's largest fintech companies. Scope spanned developer tooling, A/B experimentation infrastructure, and integration work with new products post-acquisition — contributing to measurable uplift in conversion and revenue at scale.

• Built internal logging and debugging tooling to surface bottlenecks across the development cycle, improving transparency around downtime and incident response.
• Formed and led a team to develop an A/B testing framework for UI variants, delivering a 3% lift in user retention.
• Led a cross-functional team applying device-, region-, and behavior-based heuristics to checkout flow redesigns, achieving a 30-point conversion increase.
• Partnered with post-acquisition Honey and Venmo teams to identify and resolve customer friction points, contributing to $30M in incremental revenue.

Enterprise WiFi network management application used by IT teams to configure and monitor wireless infrastructure.

• Developed and shipped UI features for the HiveManager network management application, driving a 15% improvement in usability and retention.
• Introduced Angular and established a cohesive application architecture across the frontend codebase, cutting development time by a third.
• Chaired stand-ups and transitioned the team to a continuous release cycle, clearing a full year's backlog of outstanding bugs.
