Baltimore, MD (Remote)

• — Designed and built reference architectures and production-grade demo applications on NATS.io and Synadia Cloud, demonstrating event-driven patterns including pub/sub, JetStream persistence, and key-value and object stores.
• — Built AI-assisted developer tooling and agent integrations — MCP servers and custom skills across Claude and OpenAI Codex — applying working knowledge of LLM architecture and context management to real workflows.
• — Produced the developer documentation, technical guides, and video demos teams used to adopt NATS in production.
• — Worked across the stack in Go, TypeScript, and hypermedia frameworks to demonstrate low-latency application patterns from broker to browser.

Baltimore, MD (Remote)

• — Architected scalable backend services with Vert.x and HyperExpress on a Hazelcast-backed cluster, bringing up live data streams with CDC to propagate database changes in real time across services for resilient, distributed state.
• — Implemented secure authentication workflows using OAuth2 and PKCE, and designed and enforced Role-Based Access Control for granular, auditable access to protected resources.
• — Established data governance practices in compliance with ISM standards, defining the controls the team built against.
• — Optimized PostgreSQL schemas and query performance; integrated WebSockets into Ember.js for real-time updates.
• — Mentored junior engineers and raised the team baseline on security and API design — consistent HTTP semantics, versioning, and error handling.

Baltimore, MD

• — Built real-time weather monitoring dashboards in React and Redux, reducing data load times by 30%.
• — Developed Spring Boot and Hibernate services backed by Redis to cache and serve high-frequency weather data.
• — Designed an AWS ingestion pipeline using Lambda for real-time processing and S3 for durable, scalable storage.

Vert.x Hazelcast Sensor Cluster Java 21 · Vert.x · Hazelcast · Datastar · Docker

A single clustered event bus spanning three JVMs, with a Hazelcast AsyncMap as the only data store behind cluster-wide locks. Sensors deploy and tear down at runtime; readings reach the browser over SSE.

Datastar NATS Tic-Tac-Toe Go · NATS JetStream KV · SSE · CQRS

The server owns all state: moves are validated into JetStream KV and rendered markup is pushed to both players over SSE — no client-side application logic, no JSON API. CQRS separates writes from KV-watch reads; presence heartbeats expire orphaned games.

xsym Rust · tree-sitter · SQLite · MCP

A cross-language structural code index served over MCP: normalization collapses ConsumerConfig, consumer_config and jsConsumerConfig to one key, so an agent can ask where a concept lives across Go, Rust and Python. Adding a language is a tree-sitter query file, not a visitor; 52,251 symbols across 40 repos, no-op re-index in 0.7s.
