Backend Engineer · Python / FastAPI

M.S. Software Engineering (WGU), based in Indiana. Currently open to junior/entry-level backend roles - hybrid, EST preferred.

I care about software that remains secure, clean domain models, and APIs that put the user first.

Featured Projects

Stinger - Self-hostable webhook delivery platform built in Python with FastAPI. Automatic retries and backoff, HMAC signatures, circuit breaker for dead endpoints, and more.

Static - Real-time anonymous chat platform. FastAPI + React/TypeScript, WebSockets over Redis pub/sub for multi-worker fan-out, three-tier JWT auth (access / socket / cipher), GitHub OAuth with account linking, Lua-script rate limiting in Redis, testcontainers-backed integration tests, observability using Prometheus & Grafana.

DevTrack - Full-stack Kanban job tracker. FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery for scheduled email reminders, Cloudflare R2 document storage with presigned URLs, GitHub + Google OAuth, server-authoritative WebSocket board sync, GitHub Actions CI against real Postgres/Redis service containers.
