Complete resumes, with the reasoning shown.

Backend engineer, 6 years, mostly on payments and other systems where being wrong is expensive. Comfortable owning a service from design doc through on-call rotation. Most useful on teams that have outgrown their first architecture and need someone to migrate it without a maintenance window.

Larkfield Payments · Seattle, WA

Software Engineer II

Jan 2023 – Present

•Cut p99 checkout latency from 1.9s to 340ms by replacing a synchronous fan-out to four services with a Kafka queue and an idempotent settlement worker.
•Led the migration of 60+ endpoints from a Rails monolith to Go services over 9 months, with no scheduled downtime and no rollback; wrote the design doc and the cutover runbook the team reused for two later migrations.
•Built the reconciliation job that catches settlement mismatches within an hour instead of at month-end close, which turned a recurring finance escalation into a dashboard.
•Reduced pager volume for our rotation by roughly 40% by fixing the three alert classes responsible for most of it, rather than raising the thresholds.
•Reviewed most of the team's payment-path pull requests and mentored two engineers through their first service launches.

Software Engineer

Bellwether Logistics · Seattle, WA

•Designed and shipped the carrier-rate API used by all four customer-facing products, replacing three separate integrations that had drifted out of sync.
•Moved the deployment pipeline from hand-run scripts to GitHub Actions with staged rollouts, taking release time from about 2 hours of babysitting to 12 minutes unattended.
•Added structured logging and tracing across the order pipeline, which is how a long-standing duplicate-shipment bug was finally located and fixed.

Junior Developer

Aug 2019 – May 2020

Project manager with 9 years in regulated healthcare environments, currently running a $14M portfolio across clinical and engineering teams.

•Ran the EHR module rollout across 11 clinics with staggered go-lives, holding unplanned downtime to under 4 hours total against a 20-hour tolerance.

Data analyst, 3 years, mostly subscription businesses. I am most useful on the questions that sit between product and finance, where the answer depends on how you define the metric and someone has to argue for a definition. Comfortable owning a question from the stakeholder conversation through to the readout.

Fernbrook Software · Chicago, IL

Data Analyst

Feb 2024 – Present

•Found that 23% of churned accounts had never used the feature onboarding was built around, which redirected the Q3 roadmap toward a use case the team had treated as secondary.

•Designed the measurement plan for 9 pricing experiments, including the two that were stopped early because the guardrail metric moved the wrong way.
•Built the self-serve cohort dashboard now used by 30+ people across product and CS, which cut ad-hoc retention requests to the analytics team by roughly two thirds.

Three years of high-volume customer-facing work across retail and restaurants, most recently at a service desk handling returns, complaints and refund decisions.
