Staff Software Engineer with 20 years of remote backend experience. I ship production AI tooling across three runtimes — Ruby (Rails), Elixir/Phoenix, and Rust — using MCP, ReAct, and disciplined TDD/DDD to make AI actually useful in production codebases.
I build AI tooling and high-throughput backend systems across Ruby (Rails), Elixir/Phoenix, and Rust. My focus is making AI useful, safe, and measurable in production: MCP servers, context bridges, evaluation sandboxes, and memory-safe CLIs.

- Polyglot depth: real, shipped code in three different runtimes, not toy repos.
- AI/tooling credibility: MCP servers, eval frameworks, and safe Rust CLIs — not "vibe coding".
- Production impact: 5,846 + 1,734 RubyGems downloads, 242 + 169 crate downloads, and a 20-year track record scaling systems past 10k TPS.

- Dealerware (Software Technical Lead | May 2022 — April 2026): Originally joined as a contractor via 3Pillar Global, hired directly and promoted from Mid-level to Senior, and subsequently to Software Technical Lead due to high performance. Directed cross-functional distributed squads across 20+ production codebases while maintaining exceptional individual contributor velocity (370+ merged PRs) on frameworks handling 10,000+ hourly transactions. Led a zero-downtime search infrastructure overhaul migrating from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch, and elevated core system test coverage from 55% to 80% via AI-assisted edge case discovery.
- 3Pillar Global (Lead Software Engineer): Modernized legacy enterprise monolithic codebases by enforcing structured Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles and Service Objects, and designed a comprehensive end-to-end multi-region i18n framework from scratch.
- MagmaLabs (Senior Engineering Manager): Guided company-wide high-throughput e-commerce integrations, scaling progressive checkout workflows, advanced subscription layers, and complex multi-region payment gateways across the Spree and Solidus ecosystems.
I help engineering teams adopt AI tooling across Ruby, Elixir, and Rust through consulting and open-source tools.
- 💼 Consulting: AI context audits, MCP server implementation, skill pack customization, and eval-driven quality improvement.
