Full Stack Software Engineer with 10+ years building secure, scalable software at enterprise scale, including five years on backend services, APIs, and full-stack delivery, alongside a decade of polished, accessible Apple-platform work. I'm equally at home in a Postgres transaction, a raw socket, and a SwiftUI view.
I own features end to end, across the whole stack, from backend services and networking to polished client UI. Most of my production work lives in private enterprise codebases, so it can't be public. The repos below are where I keep my skills sharp across Go, Swift, and the web, work with the latest frameworks and tools, and explore the layers beneath the UI. Read them as working samples, not the full scope of what I've shipped.
Weaver is a DAG-based job scheduler and workflow orchestrator in Go with a React UI, built as a small, readable take on the ideas behind Airflow and Temporal.
- DFS cycle detection and topological scheduling over a Postgres-backed queue with no broker, where claims use
SELECT ... FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKEDso a task goes to one worker at a time - At-least-once execution with heartbeat leases, and reaper recovery of tasks orphaned by dead workers
- Cron scheduling that backfills every missed slot exactly once, plus retries with exponential backoff, jitter, and per-task timeouts
- A React DAG view with live run status, per-attempt logs, and run history over a REST API
- Runnable end to end via Docker Compose, backed by 88 tests including integration tests against a real Postgres instance in CI

TossTracker is a cornhole scoring app I designed, built, and published to the App Store on my own.
- Automatic cancellation scoring, round management, and turn order, with resumable in-progress games
- Every completed match saved with full team, score, and date detail, searchable and filterable, with CSV export and sharing
- Full VoiceOver support with labels and hints throughout, independent light and dark mode, and landscape support
- In-app rules reference, optional sounds and haptics, and a confetti finish
Source is private, but it's the clearest example of my work taken all the way from idea to a released, accessible, polished product.
End-to-end ownership of clients and the backends they talk to, with clean API contracts and resilience in between. Weaver, above, is the fullest example.

Services, ingestion, and networking below the framework layer, from a from-scratch HTTP server to Go analytics pipelines and the data contracts behind shipped clients.
| Repo | What it demonstrates | How it maps to my work |
|---|---|---|
| HTTPServer | A from-scratch HTTP/1.1 server in Swift 6 on raw Darwin sockets with no frameworks, handling its own request framing and routing over an actor-backed store, strict-concurrency-clean throughout | Low-level networking and safe concurrency below the framework layer |
| culinary-catalog-data | A zero-infrastructure JSON data service backing Culinary-Catalog, built as a single source of truth fanned out into versioned, schema-validated feeds, auto-published by a GitHub Actions pipeline | Owning the data contract and release automation behind a shipped client |
