Software engineer in Salt Lake City

I build backend systems that stay clear under pressure.

I work on APIs, data pipelines, cloud systems, and AI model evaluation. I make failures easy to find and results easy to repeat.

What I do

Backend work from data to deployment.

I make complex systems easier to test, run, and change.

Identity and data

I trace data faults, map schemas, and move identity records safely.

Cloud systems

I build APIs, data pipelines, CI systems, and tools for operators.
