Restructured Design

The design is in the details
Background

Senior engineering, and the discipline that makes it land.

Services, APIs, integrations and data layers, built by someone who has shipped them inside large enterprises for two decades. Frontends on web, desktop, and mobile for corporations and startups alike.

But a successful project is more than the delivery of code. It is collaborating well with the team, working on the right things, communicating clearly, honoring commitments, and documenting what was built so whoever picks it up next has a smooth transition.

How I am usually engaged

Team extension

Drop into an existing team and be productive in the codebase quickly. Comfortable in distributed teams across time zones, with the review and testing discipline of a regulated shop.

Backend & integration builds

Own a service, an API surface or a partner integration end to end, or collaboratively with the team, in C#/.NET, Java, Node.js, TypeScript or tech stack of your choice.

Mobile & modernization

Ship or rescue apps on React Native, Flutter or .NET MAUI — including moving production apps off frameworks that have been deprecated underneath them.

Selected Enterprise work

Healthcare

NuVasive Surgical neuromonitoring & imaging platform

A medical device manufacturer · full-stack contractor

A platform used during spinal surgery had to keep gaining capability without compromising the codebase in a highly regulated industry. I built C#/.NET services over MS SQL Server and migrated the TypeScript component front end on Polymer to Lit. Created the packaging, localization, data-verification and simulator tooling in Node.js to ensure quality and improve development speed.

Industrial

GE Manufacturing intelligence, on-prem and cloud

A global industrial manufacturer · lead engineer

While employed at GE, I designed REST microservices in Java, Node.js and .NET Core over MS SQL Server and PostgreSQL for both topologies, built Angular and Polymer front ends, set the team's engineering standards as technical anchor, and hired into it.

Real estate

Partner integration backend service, with web and mobile frontend

A real estate platform · engineer, contract

Integrated a real estate platform with a new partner. Data had to move reliably in both directions between a client product and an outside partner's system. I built and consumed REST APIs and webhooks using TypeScript, Node.js, and Google Cloud, while adding supporting frontend functionality to React web app and React Native iOS and Android mobile apps.

Selected startup work, in the app stores

designed, built and shipped by me

Nanny Paycheck Calculator

Household payroll and tax software for families employing a caregiver with scheduling, time tracking, paycheck generation, tax reporting guidance and reminders. I designed it for my own needs, built it, shipped it to the App Store and Google Play, and support it in production. Flutter and Dart on the client, Firebase Cloud Functions in Node.js and Cloud Firestore behind it.

Send the shape of the work — the system, the integration, the deadline. I will tell you whether I am the right hire.
