where I've worked and what I built.

  1. Software Engineer (Freelance) · Self-employed

    to · Troy, MI

    Building, hardening, and shipping production systems for paying clients, where a bug or a fraud loss shows up on someone's real balance sheet.

    • Built fraud-detection pipelines (IP and behavioral signals, chargeback logic) that cut one client's losses by 31.6% across their production e-commerce stack.
    • Designed IAM for 20+ concurrent client projects: RBAC, authentication, and permission controls across AWS, cPanel, and DNS.
    • Hardened servers against the OWASP top risks, ran log analysis with SIEM tooling, and remediated the vulnerabilities it surfaced.

  2. Software Engineer · Independent · Roblox platform

    I run the backend for a live multiplayer game. Real players, a real in-game economy, and a real, constant stream of people trying to break both.

    • Architected and maintained the backend for a live game with 1,000+ concurrent users: state synchronization, session management, and live patching without taking the game down.
    • Built role-based access control from scratch, authorizing every privileged action server-side under production load.
