Engineering with a Purpose
Full-stack engineer. Community builder. I write code that solves real problems for real people.
I've always lived at the intersection of two worlds — the creative and the analytical. Software engineering is where those worlds collide for me: part art, part science, all purpose. As a single dad raising two kids in Chicago, I build technology that reflects what I care about most — tools that actually serve people.
Featured Projects
Full-Stack Systems & Complex Data
Robust applications focused on scalable logic, database management, and system architecture.
Open Doors Academy
AI-supported educational platform with role-based dashboards and relational data modeling. Built with .NET Core & SQL Server.
Marketing & Professional Presence
High-conversion designs and mobile-first layouts focused on brand identity.
Coffee + Kids + Code
Because apparently raising two kids alone while learning to code wasn't hard enough — so I started writing about it too. A blog for the dad who didn't get a manual, the developer who Googles everything, and anyone who needs coffee just to function. Equal parts therapy, tutorials, and questionable decisions all documented for your entertainment.
Interactive Tools & Community Resources
Utility-driven SPAs focusing on performance, data integration, and public service.
AWS Certification Training Platform
Interactive certification training platform with timed quizzes, domain-based performance analytics, readiness scoring, and test-mode simulation. Designed to support multiple AWS certifications with scalable question sets and real-time progress tracking.
The integrity job search engine
A personal job search engine built because spreadsheets weren't cutting it. Automatically pulls fresh listings every Monday, stores them in a database, and surfaces them through a clean dashboard with status tracking, filtering, and CSV export. Built with Next.js and Python — because if you're going to job hunt, you might as well engineer the process.
