AI Systems & Infrastructure

• Architected Context Engine, an AI-powered developer productivity platform integrating Jira, GitLab, and semantic search via vector embeddings; built auth, permissions, and a TypeScript API client — shipped to production in 3 weeks, winning the company hackathon.
• Built an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server enabling Claude Code integration with internal systems, bringing AI-assisted workflows to the engineering org.
• Developed automated ticket classification and Jira ticket creation from natural-language chat, streamlining sprint planning and root-cause analysis.
• Created Merge Reporter, an AI-powered GitLab→Jira bridge that eliminates 100% of manual status reporting at under $30/year to run.
• Designed the Web Dev Mastery training program with AI-graded exercises, scaling mentorship across the Web Chapter.

Technical Strategy & Architecture

• Defined the platform-consolidation strategy and led a 5-engineer team through it — refactored 76% of a codebase (475 files, 35,530 lines) across 4 sprints; the patterns are now the standard for all internal tool migrations.
• Designed an authentication framework (@youversion/next-auth) that eliminated token-storage vulnerabilities; adopted as the org-wide standard.
• Identified architectural debt in Bible.com blocking future features; led the refactor enabling 330M-user reach across 10 new languages — “the biggest language launch for BDC in a long time.”
• Architected a type-safe configuration system in active use across the codebase.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Delivery

• Architected and delivered the Story Builder platform from concept to production in 30 days — pushed back on a flawed proposed solution, built a 2-day proof-of-concept to align teams, and shipped a platform now serving 20+ enterprise partners.
• Bridged the Internal Tools and Strategic Missions teams during the CMS Rebuild, owning App Preview, Search, and Foundation components — delivering 80%+ of the Optiframe frontend while learning .NET for seamless cross-stack integration.
• Shaped the Internal Tools roadmap — proposed a Support Portal repurposing strategy adopted by the architecture team.

Force Multiplication & Mentorship

• Resolved a months-long CI/CD blocker affecting all review apps, unblocking developer velocity across 6+ teams.
• Built unsolicited internal tools (Roles & Permissions UI, Merge Reporter, Context Engine) saving hundreds of engineering hours annually — used org-wide.
• Mentored engineers across levels; completed 188 tickets in 2025 while holding architecture ownership and cross-team coordination.

• Led technical interviews for team expansion; established code standards and architectural patterns for a greenfield Angular SPA with a custom Node.js/SQL backend.
• Built task management, authentication, dynamic form rendering/validation, account management, and construction workflow systems serving 20+ project workflows.

• Architected a cross-platform medical administrative system with SignalR real-time communications; implemented a full SQL database with .NET Core and Entity Framework.
• Created GitLab CI/CD pipelines with Azure deployments, establishing DevOps practices for automated builds and testing.

• Developed OCR and billing software frontend for medical claims processing, automating manual workflows while maintaining HIPAA compliance.
• Migrated a legacy VB.NET codebase to Java Spring Boot with a SQL Server/PostgreSQL backend, modernizing critical business systems.
