Senior Software Engineer
I’m a senior software engineer that builds high-traffic, customer-facing web and mobile products. I work through complex problems, make technical decisions, and help my teams deliver reliable experiences at scale.
Best Buy · 2021 to now
I joined Best Buy as an Associate Engineer in 2021. Since then, I’ve grown through four roles while working on customer-facing web and mobile products used by millions of people.
Sep 2026 — now
Best Buy
Promoted to Senior Software Engineer after progressing through three engineering roles at Best Buy. I help turn complex requirements into technical plans and guide work from early decisions through delivery.
Feb 2023 — Sep 2026
Best Buy
Owned Trade-In and Fulfillment features across BestBuy.com and the mobile app, using React, React Native, and TypeScript to help customers trade in devices and receive their orders.
Feb 2021 — Feb 2023
Best Buy
Learned the realities of a large production codebase: shipping in small pieces, reviewing carefully, testing the edges, and working across teams without losing sight of the customer problem.
After-hours projects
Some solve problems in my life. Some started as a joke. Others were to broaden my expertise. All of them gave me a reason to learn something new and actually ship it.
Published iOS app
I built Tabletop Pal to keep game night focused on playing instead of managing score sheets. Players can track scores, rounds, and standings, join the same game by link or QR code, and return to saved games without creating an account. It also brings together dice, timers, and optional scanning to help count points from supported cards and dominoes.
What made it interestingShipped on the App Store, bringing shared scorecards, guest players, saved games, and game-specific scoring into one product. The challenge was keeping those features easy to use in the middle of a game.
API platform
A Node.js and TypeScript API I built to support several personal projects, including an earlier version of this portfolio and a Pokédex. It gave those projects a shared place for server-side features instead of rebuilding the same setup each time.
What made it interestingLearned where a shared backend saves work, and when a project is easier to maintain with an API of its own.
Interactive travel utility
A road-trip app for recording license plates spotted across the United States. An interactive map shows the states you’ve found, while sighting dates, history, and counts keep a record of each trip.
What made it interestingBuilt persistent trackers that players can return to by ID, turning a familiar travel game into a record they can keep adding to.
Real-time product
A companion for weekly D&D sessions, with dice outcomes and a shared initiative tracker backed by Firestore. Players can sign in and keep track of the same session together.
What made it interestingBuilt around an actual weekly game, where readable turn order, saved state, and small interaction details matter during play.
Published Chrome extension
A Manifest V3 browser extension that adds an Owen Wilson “wow” and a burst of confetti to button clicks across the web.
What made it interestingTurned a playful idea into a working extension published through the Chrome Web Store.
Home infrastructure
A Dockerized dashboard for checking the services running on my home media server in one place.
What made it interestingBrought scattered service status into a single view so I could see what was running and spot failures more easily.
Native macOS utility
A native macOS menu bar app for timed, custom, or indefinite keep-awake sessions, with a live countdown, pause and resume, and separate display and system sleep controls.
What made it interestingBuilt a focused utility using native power-management APIs, with remembered preferences and universal builds for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
How I work
I start by understanding who is using the product, what they need to do, and what gets in their way. That context helps me make better technical decisions.
I care about clear boundaries, useful tests, and performance we can measure; but mostly I want the next engineer to understand what I left behind.
I write things down, ask direct questions, review with care, and mentor without gatekeeping. Good work moves faster when nobody has to guess.
