Software Engineering Specialist
Twenty-plus years shipping software, from COBOL on the AS/400 to ASP.NET Core and React today. I build backend services, front-end UIs, and the developer tooling that holds a team together, and I mentor the people building alongside me.
I am a senior developer at Emerson, where I mentor and pair with a team of more than 40 developers across the globe. My day-to-day is C# on the .NET backend and TypeScript, React, and Redux on the front end, building the next generation of valve configuration software for industrial customers.
My career started in publishing, writing COBOL transaction-processing programs and running database migrations for new clients. From there I moved into embedded AV control systems, then military mapping and mission-planning software, then a remote-desktop product that streams 3D applications from cloud workstations. Each move added a layer: low-level systems, client and server architecture, real-time video, and now large-scale product development.
Today my favorite place to work is the .NET ecosystem, especially ASP.NET Core and .NET Aspire for cloud applications. Outside of work I write open-source libraries and tools, publish Twitch extensions used by hundreds of streamers, and I am finishing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Full Sail University while working full time.

A Serilog file-sink hook that encrypts log files with hybrid RSA and AES-GCM cryptography. Version 6 adds a tamper-evident format that detects truncation, reordering, and splicing, plus key rotation and streaming decryption for large files.
A GitHub CLI extension that turns your team's pull-request history into a terminal dashboard: per-member stat lines, a nine-chart overview, twelve-week trends, and person drill-downs, all backed by an incremental SQLite cache so it works offline.
A starter template for Twitch panel extensions using Vite, React, and TypeScript. It wires up all four extension entry points, local HTTPS for the Twitch developer rig, and the module-preload setting Twitch requires, so a new extension builds and deploys on day one.
My Full Sail University team capstone: a native Android grocery companion that builds shopping lists, compares prices across stores, tracks the pantry, and plans meals, backed by real grocery pricing data. My focus on the team is the Pantry and History features, from the data model and Supabase queries to the Compose screens.
The replacement for Emerson's long-standing valve configuration software. It connects the person configuring a valve and actuator to the digital valve controller in the field over REST, WebSocket, and HART. I work across the .NET backend and the React front end and mentor developers on a 40+ person global team.
Remote-desktop software that streams demanding 3D applications from cloud workstations over long distances while keeping high resolution and frame rate. I led the development team and worked directly with the NVIDIA NVENC and NVDEC encoding APIs.
Mapping, mission-planning, and satellite message relay software for federal government customers, with both client and server components in C#, ASP.NET, and SQL Server. I also maintained its Java bridge to third-party targeting software and its Android client.
High-volume transaction processing on the IBM AS/400 for product fulfillment, plus the data migrations that brought each new client's history into the platform. Every onboarding meant custom COBOL conversion programs and a cutover with no interruption to live processing.
In progress while working full time, currently holding a 4.0 GPA.
Graduated with a 4.0 GPA. Coursework in Assembly, COBOL, C++, Visual Basic, and SQL with a focus on mainframe and financial systems.
