Systems built to
hold at scale
and explain themselves.
I design and build full-stack software and data infrastructure for institutions that cannot afford downtime — from a production IAM platform serving 750,000 users across 171 Kentucky school districts to commercial SaaS processing $18M in transactions. I work where complex domain problems meet the people who need the solution to be correct, observable, and maintainable.
Selected Work
Work
Six projects across identity engineering, data infrastructure, and commercial full-stack development — each chosen because it posed a non-trivial problem worth explaining.
Statewide Identity Platform — Kentucky Dept. of Education
A production identity and access management system scaled from a single district to 750,000+ users across 171 Kentucky school districts — built with 99.9% uptime, full FERPA and CIPA compliance, and recognised by the state with the Stillwell Award for innovation.
Identity Monitoring & Alerting Platform
A full-stack operational intelligence system built on top of the district's IAM infrastructure — surfacing anomalies, failed provisions, and policy drift through a diagnostic dashboard that cut average IT resolution time from 1.5 days to 0.6 days.
Franchise Banking Operations Platform
A multi-tenant SaaS platform serving franchise banking operations — built independently on a serverless AWS architecture, processing $18M+ in transactions with sub-second incident detection and automated alerting that cut average response time by a full day.
Enterprise Data Pipeline Infrastructure
A bi- and unidirectional integration layer connecting 40+ educational software systems — built to replace a constellation of point-to-point scripts with a coherent, observable, and operationally manageable data infrastructure. Network utilization down 82%. Server load down 30%.
Koine — Ancient Greek Learning Platform
A personal project turned full-stack platform for learning Biblical and Classical Greek — built because every existing tool was either expensive, abandoned, or pedagogically unsound. Features spaced repetition, morphological parsing, and inline glosses across primary texts.

About
I build things
institutions depend on.
I'm a Software Engineer at Warren County Public Schools in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where I've spent four years building the identity, data, and operational infrastructure that underlies how 30,000+ students and staff interact with technology every day.
The work has grown outward: a provisioning system at one district became a statewide platform serving 171 districts and 750,000 users, recognised by the Kentucky Department of Education with the Stillwell Award for innovation in 2022. I presented the architecture and governance model at the Identity Automation User Group in June 2025.
In parallel, I work independently — most recently building a franchise banking SaaS on AWS from architecture through launch. I work best on problems at the intersection of engineering rigour and domain complexity, where understanding the problem precisely is half the work.
Earlier: a customer management platform at International Business Associates serving 100+ associates; a multilingual travel app optimised for constrained networks; rebuilt a real-time weather map at Kentucky Mesonet aggregating 50+ sensor stations.

Let's talk
about what you're building.
Whether you're working on a complex integration problem, an IAM architecture, or a full-stack product that needs someone who can work end-to-end — I'd like to hear about it.
