Backend-leaning full-stack developer based in Wakefield, MA, with a background in astrophysics, scientific computing, and Python.
I build architecture-driven, versioned systems with a focus on:
- Data integrity and ownership boundaries
- API-backed application design
- CI-backed testing and validation
- Clear separation of concerns
- Long-term maintainability
Most notably, I evolved Readr from an offline-first vanilla JavaScript app into a secure, multi-user, API-backed full-stack system through a staged backend-first foundation, parity-focused frontend rebuild, and versioned release process.
Architecture-driven evolution of an offline-first reading app into a secure, multi-user, API-backed system.
- v1.x: Vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS offline-first reading log
- v2.0: Express + Prisma + PostgreSQL full-stack foundation with CI-backed validation
- v2.1: React + TypeScript frontend rebuild with strict behavioral parity goals
- v2.2+: API-backed persistence, authentication, user ownership boundaries, engagement features, and deployment hardening
Focus areas:
- Migration strategy and system evolution
- API boundary design and schema validation
- Full-stack testing and CI validation
- Data integrity and ownership enforcement
