Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina
I architect and ship full-stack web applications that scale under pressure, comply by design, and evolve intelligently. With 12+ years building secure web platforms for Cisco, FedEx, and Cox Communications, I blend React, Node.js, .NET, and Azure with targeted AI integration, not for novelty, but to eliminate toil, harden quality, and accelerate time-to-value. Beyond traditional development, I engineer Python-based data pipelines and PowerBI visualizations that turn raw operational metrics into executive decision-making tools. My dual focus ensures your frontend is responsive, your backend is secure, and your data strategy is actionable from day one. AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable) that accelerate scaffolding, debugging, and exploration, so you ship features, not boilerplate ✅ My Achievements @Built a React/Node.js IT automation suite used by 5,000+ employees, integrating AI-powered ServiceNow agents that auto-summarize incidents, lifting First Contact Resolution from 86% to 93% and cutting triage time by 40%. @Engineered a secure, zero-trust web platform on Azure (App Services, Key Vault, Managed Identities) that passed all security audits with zero findings while enabling daily production releases via GitHub Actions CI/CD with zero rollbacks. @Reduced onboarding from 4 weeks to 10 days for support engineers by delivering a full-stack training portal (React + Node + PostgreSQL), boosting certification pass rates by 40% and cutting repeat tickets by 25% through embedded semantic search. ✅ I treat AI as a force multiplier for web engineering: → LLMs that turn raw logs into actionable insights, so you fix root causes, not symptoms → Semantic search that transforms static knowledge bases into dynamic assistant experiences → Intelligent QA that prioritizes test coverage where risk is highest → AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable) that accelerate scaffolding, debugging, and exploration, so you ship features, not boilerplate → Python-powered data pipelines feeding AI-enhanced PowerBI dashboards, as demonstrated in the xbyte analytics operations dashboard that analyzed 12K+ daily transactions to reduce cost per unit by 15% and improve forecasting accuracy by 30%. ✅ Technical Skills →Full Stack Development: [React, TypeScript, Next.js, HTML5/CSS3, Styled Components, Node.js, Express, .NET Core, C#, RESTful APIs, GraphQL, WebSockets, Serverless (Azure Functions) ] →Databases: [SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Dapper, Redis] →Data Engineering & Visualization: [Python (Pandas, NumPy, ETL Automation), PowerBI (DAX, Power Query, Data Modeling), Semantic Search] →DevOps & Cloud: [Microsoft Azure (App Services, Functions, Key Vault), AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda), Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes (AKS), GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (Bicep, ARM)] →AI Coding Tools: [Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, GitHub Copilot, Make] →AI Integration: [AI Agent, OpenAI, GPT-4, Gemini, Deep Learning, AI Bot, LLM, LangChain, LangSmith, RAG, Zapier, MemGPT] →AI-Augmented QA: [Automated Test Orchestration, ServiceNow AI Analytics, Test Automation (Jest, Cypress, Selenium), SLA Compliance Monitoring] My foundation is robust web architecture: clean APIs, responsive UIs, infrastructure-as-code, and observability by default. AI sits on top, making it all smarter, not more complex. Let’s build a web application that’s secure, scalable, and quietly intelligent.
