Lead Software Engineer · Software Architect
I build data platforms that handle billions of records — Python, TypeScript and AWS in production at Finetune. 16+ years shipping software, most of it leading the teams that ship it.

I lead engineering on AP Classroom, College Board's platform for AP teachers and students, at Finetune (A Prometric Company). Recent work: redesigning the partitioning strategy for its largest dataset — roughly 3 billion score records and growing ~20% a year — for 3× faster retrieval, and architecting the merge of the platform's two most heavily used teacher-facing pages.
Before that I spent a year at Wiley building things fast. A medical knowledge base API in two weeks, in Python and AWS Chalice, powered the debut of Wiley's Life Sciences AI Agent — 45 press articles with a combined reach of 145M monthly unique visitors. An MCP integration on top of it, built in days, enabled Wiley's technology partnership with Anthropic. Alongside it, a large-scale data platform in Java and Spring Boot processing millions of scientific articles for LLM training and RAG.
The stack has changed a lot over 16 years — iOS, PHP, Java, now mostly Python and TypeScript. What hasn't is the part I care about: turning a new idea into something shipped, and leaving the codebase and the team better than I found them.
