Engineer & community architect

I build systems for people.

Full-stack engineer with 7 years on AWS, small teams to large, shipping full-stack apps end-to-end. I also design the events and build the tools behind the Melty Blood scene that's grown from ~60 to 200+ players at majors.

How I work

From inside the problem, out.

01

Find the friction

Walk through your workflow with me. The friction your team works around is where the missing tool lives. Adomin, FindMyFGC, and NEST all started exactly this way.

02

Build it end-to-end

Shipped to hold up in production. Seven years on AWS, most recently leading the on-prem to cloud migration and resolving 16,000+ CVEs at United Airlines. Four FGC tools running for organizers today.

03

Lift the team behind it

Beyond the build, the team running it grows stronger. Mentorship, leadership, and workflow design come with the engineering work.

About

I'm a software engineer
building for communities.
Understand how people work,
Discern their real needs,
And ship what fits.

Seven years professionally on AWS: cloud-native infrastructure, event-driven systems, full-stack applications. Most recently at United Airlines, where I drove on-prem to cloud system migrations and led a cross-team effort that resolved 16,000+ CVEs in a year. Startups and enterprises both, multiple stacks.

I apply the same instinct to human systems. The Melty Blood community was rough on newcomers and rough on itself, so I designed a weekly event series with formats, scheduling, and rules engineered to nudge the scene toward a healthier culture. Offline major attendance went from under 100 to 200+ players, sustained since 2024. I built tools to streamline tournament organization for other organizers, and I mentor both engineers and competitors in the scenes I'm part of.

I'm building, learning, and open to freelance and full-time work. Platform, DevEx, and engineering enablement is where this synthesis lands sharpest, but the same instinct comes with whatever I'm hired to do. If you need someone to walk into your workflow, ship what's missing, and strengthen the team behind it, get in touch.
