Senior/Staff full-stack engineer, frontend-leaning: TypeScript, Vue, React, Node, SQL. 28 years, usually as the sole engineer taking a problem from ambiguity to production. Portland, OR. Remote.
I build the tool that removes a recurring cost for the people who use it. Developer experience, internal tooling, and product engineering are the work I want.
AI is a clarity tool, not an expertise replacement. Model output is a draft. Deterministic gates decide what is true.
I cheat, but I cheat fair.
Core: TypeScript · Vue · React · Node · SQL (PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server) · HTML5/CSS3 · design systems and theming · WCAG 2.1 AA / Section 508 · SCORM 1.2 / 2004 · AICC · xAPI · MCP servers
Testing a gated course meant clicking through every state combination by hand. I built a Vue.js wrapper with a fake SCORM API, save-states, and instant replay. A test cycle went from hours to minutes.
I architected a cross-domain SCORM/AICC delivery framework in 2011: stub packages on each client LMS, content served centrally, protocol translation in between. It cut maintenance across 20+ enterprise clients for more than a decade. It predates Rustici Content Controller by five years.
career-tooling is a TypeScript pipeline on Postgres. Its provenance gate refuses to emit any document carrying a claim that does not trace to reviewed evidence. I also built an MCP server over it, one of two MCP servers I have written in TypeScript on the official SDK.
Prompt engineering alone could not enforce state; the model was acting as both interface and data store. I architected an agent prototype that confines the model to conversational routing and puts everything that must be correct into deterministic, schema-bound structures.
On a global learning platform, I reverse-engineered an undocumented styling layer and built the theming system that let drifted subsidiary brands be rebranded at all. React frontend, federated GraphQL over four backend systems.
Open to senior and staff full-stack roles: developer experience, internal tooling, product engineering. ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (July 2026).
