Senior full-stack engineer — 28+ years turning specs, legacy systems, and ambitious roadmaps into production software. Open to contract, contract-to-hire, or full-time roles with founders, growing businesses, and the agencies that serve them.
Senior engineer delivering end-to-end execution — no account layers, no junior handoffs.
Design systems, performance, and interfaces that hold up under real traffic
APIs, e-commerce platforms, and the Node/PHP services behind them — built to be maintained by the next person, not just shipped by this one.
Aging infrastructure, security gaps, and undocumented systems, made stable and current without stopping the business to do it.
Here's what shipped, what got stabilized, and what got architected from zero — with the people I built it for.
Worked across core publishing systems and audience platforms supporting one of the highest-traffic digital news organizations in the world. Focused on scalable content infrastructure, editorial tooling, and system modernization.
Took over technology for a growing e-commerce retailer: hardened checkout toward PCI compliance, resolved long-standing infrastructure issues, and led a Magento 2 migration with outside vendors — without taking the existing platform down.
Co-founder for a social platform built around shared experiences. Architected, built, and managed every web and backend system from zero.
UI/UX team lead for Salsa's enterprise SaaS platform, built in Angular.js for nonprofit advocacy and fundraising organizations — architecture, API design, and a four-person distributed team.
Built and integrated front-end UI with custom e-commerce backends for national retail brands, including A'GACI, Bakers Shoes, Journeys, and Johnston & Murphy — plus a Silver DC Addy–winning campaign site for Journey's BBQ.
Lead technologist for a marketing firm's network of 30+ high-traffic sites. Designed and launched a custom CMS that managed the content and layout for each site, oversaw $2M+/year in ad and affiliate revenue. Fielded data mining requests, social network marketing, search engine optimization (SEO) and maintained web content as part of daily responsibilities.
Designed intranet CRM systems that took a sales org off paper, and ran a 30+ server, multi-cluster Windows hosting platform with SAN storage for business customers.
We talk through the role or project, the stack, and the timeline.
Contract, contract-to-hire, or full-time — you get clear terms and a rate or salary range before any work starts.
I work inside your team or solo, with regular check-ins and demos — not a black box that reappears in six weeks.
Clean documentation either way — whether I roll off a contract or onboard as a full-time hire.
Tell me what you're building, or what's broken. I'll reply within a day.
