About Me
I build backend systems and full-stack tools that hold up in production. Most of my work involves Node.js, Python, AWS, and React — shipping APIs, real-time applications, and AI-powered workflows for companies in media, entertainment, and creative tech.
Selected Work
Photobooth Kiosk App
Real-time photobooth kiosk built for live events — configurable client branding, instant photo delivery, and a client-facing UI running on local hardware. Increased event engagement by 25%. Part of the product that won the CGW Silver Edge Award at SIGGRAPH 2023.
React, Express, AWS, SQLite3
NHG E-Commerce Site
Built a haircare brand's first web presence end-to-end — storefront, product pages, and automated lead capture via Google Sheets API that eliminated manual data entry. Delivered to client as a complete, production-ready package.
PHP, JavaScript, Google Sheets API, PostgreSQL
Event Integration Backend
Backend API powering a queer event discovery app. Integrated Eventbrite for live event ingestion, built REST endpoints for the frontend team, and containerized the full dev environment with Docker.

Cloud Stable Diffusion Infrastructure
Deployed Stable Diffusion to AWS with horizontal auto-scaling — automated spin-up and teardown of EC2 instances based on demand. Built the cloud infrastructure behind Davant Systems' SIGGRAPH 2023 award-winning Stable Diffusion interface.
