I'm a Sr. Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience across full-stack development, AI agent integration, and enterprise DevOps, including about 7 years as a Principal Software Engineer at Dell Technologies, where I served as lead architect for our enterprise cloud and CI/CD platforms. These days I'm focused on building production web apps with Next.js, TypeScript, and Supabase, and integrating AI capabilities through OpenAI and Claude APIs, including RAG pipelines and voice AI agents.
I like taking projects from idea to something that's actually live and working, not just a demo. That means solid architecture, but also real thought about what happens once users show up: performance, security, deployment, all of it. My Dell background means I'm not just writing app code; I can build and run the infrastructure underneath it too. If you're a startup or growing team that needs to move fast without cutting corners, that's where I come in.
Happy to jump on a call and talk through what you're building. Let's see if I'm the right fit.
