init — checkout & setup
Pipeline initialization — spinning up the runner and checking out the candidate before the build stages run.
Senior software engineer with 9 years across full-stack .NET development and multi-cloud platform engineering (Azure, AWS, GCP). At Citrix, I build FedRAMP High–compliant cloud infrastructure, cut costs through automation, and apply LLMs to security and operations workflows. I ship production systems end to end and have solo-built two live apps, including Byte AI (50+ daily users), and co-founded TrueSpend.

Pipeline initialization — spinning up the runner and checking out the candidate before the build stages run.
Started in electrical/electronics engineering, then moved into software — a systems and math foundation that carried into cloud and backend work. M.S. EE, University of Missouri–Kansas City (2015–16); B.S. Electronics, KL University (2011–15).
Built distributed services and internal desktop tools for government healthcare claims processing (HMS medical-claims review); optimized SQL Server stored procedures by 75%.
Seven years building scalable .NET APIs and front-ends for a healthcare member platform. Led an on-prem → Azure AI Search migration (>100% faster) and integrated Azure OpenAI for natural-language queries.
Multi-cloud (Azure / AWS / GCP) infrastructure for FedRAMP High systems. Drove cost optimization (VMs → Kubernetes, ~$25K/yr), automated policy + operations (>90% less manual work), and built AI tooling for security triage and incident summarization.
A tech-focused social platform built end to end — backend, web, and native iOS — with hybrid semantic search and AI content features. ~50 daily active users.
A financial-independence / retirement (FIRE) planning platform with a month-by-month portfolio simulation engine (Monte Carlo, tax-optimized withdrawals) and an AI assistant for data entry.
A geo-aware app that recommends the best rewards credit card the moment you arrive at a store. Co-founded; in development on iOS TestFlight.
Full technical skill set across languages, frontend, cloud/devops, AI, data, and practices.

Pipeline complete. Artifacts cached, status green. Open to senior cloud, full-stack, and generative-AI roles — let's talk.
It runs init → roles → parallel projects → skills → cleanup. Each job streams its own logs — click any job to read just that one, or hit ▶ to run the whole pipeline.
