About
CurrentlySenior Software Engineer at PLS Logistics
I’m a software engineer and founder in Cincinnati. I build web applications, work with AI coding tools, and care about making software easier to use. I’ve worked in payments, logistics, and real estate, and I enjoy helping other developers learn.
About me
I’ve worked on software for payments, logistics, and real estate. Before I start building, I want to understand how people do the work today and what gets in their way. That helps me decide what the software needs to do.
I also enjoy the conversations that come with building software: talking through a design, explaining a difficult concept, or helping another developer work out a problem. At Worldpay, mentoring developers and coordinating with consultants became part of my role as a UI lead. I’d like to keep making time for that work.
These days, I use coding agents for a lot of my development work. I spend time on the setup: giving them project context, connecting tools, breaking down tasks, and deciding what needs approval. I also work on keeping context between sessions and choosing which models to use. Tests and separate reviews help me check the resulting code.
I don’t expect to have every detail memorized. I do need to understand how the system fits together, know where to look, and ask good questions. That helps me decide what to reuse, what to build, and what needs another look. I’m still trying new approaches and comparing notes with other developers. When I use AI, I’m responsible for the code I accept.
I hold a B.S. in Computer Information Technology from Miami University and a Nielsen Norman Group certification in UX and Interaction Design. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Background
I work with teams to improve their software and find uses for AI in their day-to-day work. Projects start with understanding the problem and testing an approach through prototypes and pilots.
I lead engineering for a real estate transaction platform that reads contracts, suggests tasks for review, builds timelines, and keeps the people involved up to date.
I build web tools for posting and tracking freight, connect services, and improve usability. I also work on cloud infrastructure, review code, and write documentation for the team.
I built a customizable UI and component library, redesigned customer onboarding, and helped get the Launchpad rollout back on track. I also co-led development of a partner administration tool. As UI Lead, I mentored new developers and coordinated work with consultants.
Skills
I build web applications, from the interface and application logic to the database and deployment. My experience includes payments, logistics, and real estate software.
I set up coding agents with project context and tools, organize their tasks, and check their output. I also work on how agents keep context and pass work between them.
I design interfaces around the tasks people need to complete, build reusable components, and keep accessibility in mind. I use testing, review, and documentation to make the software easier to maintain.
