The Short Version

I'm a Software Architect and intrapreneur based in Dallas-Fort Worth with 13+ years designing and leading fintech, licensing, and platform-engineering systems, from founding a QA practice to delivering core systems for a full loan-servicing platform.

I'm known for replacing legacy vendor systems with faster in-house products and turning multi-week manual workflows into autonomous software.

What I Do

$ ls -la ~/skills/

Architecture That Replaces Vendors

I design systems built for the real world, not the whiteboard. I built Concord eVault as an in-house replacement for eOriginal, with document validation and OCR, and it surpassed 500,000 documents within six months of launch. I've delivered secure Wells Fargo and Chase integrations for lockbox and ACH payments, plus CyberSource card processing.

Automation That Multiplies Output

I turn manual workflows into autonomous software. My lien-management system for UCC filings collapsed a 20+ step manual workflow into a near-fully autonomous process, raising per-person capacity from a few hundred liens per month to several thousand.

Pragmatic Problem Solving

I'm stack-agnostic and results-obsessed. C# / .NET, TypeScript / Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Go, SvelteKit, AWS, whatever solves the problem fastest and scales cleanest. I championed early AI-assisted engineering adoption across my team and serve as the go-to resource on new tools and models.

Career Highlights

$ grep -r "achievement" ~/career/ | head -4

• Built Concord eVault in-house, surpassing 500K+ documents within six months of launch
• Automated UCC lien filings, raising per-person capacity roughly 10x
• Replaced New York State's licensing ecosystem in 6 months, against a 12-18 month industry standard
• Founded Dialexa's QA division as VP of QA, increasing early critical-defect discovery by 50%

Beyond the Terminal

When I'm not architecting systems or mentoring engineers, you'll find me deep-diving into emerging tech, running lunch 'n learns, and occasionally remembering that sunlight exists.
