Mastery of the Fundamentals

Core Principle

A leader must understand the technical ground truth to effectively set strategy and coach teams.

Deep Technical Experience

RAG Migration Assistant

Architected and directed development of a RAG-based GenAI migration assistant at FINRA — designed the retrieval indexing strategy, prompt engineering layer, compliance validation, and human-in-the-loop approval workflow. Accelerated Jenkins-to-GitLab pipeline migration from days to hours per pipeline across 700 developers.

Front-End Learning Breadth

Deliberately learning across frontend ecosystems — Astro for static site generation, React for component architecture, SolidJS for fine-grained reactivity, Vite for modern build tooling. Builds real projects to learn, not just tutorials.

CI/CD Tooling

Led three major CI/CD platform migrations across three organizations — CircleCI to GitHub Actions at EVERFI, Jenkins infrastructure scaling across 100+ applications (web and mobile) at Gannett, and Jenkins to GitLab for 700 developers at FINRA. At FINRA, architected pipeline-as-code standards and a RAG-based GenAI assistant that auto-generates 80% of declarative pipeline syntax, reducing migration time from days to hours. Hands-on with GitHub Actions in personal projects including portfolio and full-stack application deployments.

Testing Infrastructure

Built testing infrastructure and delivery models from the ground zero across organizations at increasing scale — at Gannett, created a Quality as a Service model across 100+ properties serving three engagement tiers: 30% self-service enablement teaching developers to own their own testing, 60% white glove partnership with planned roll-off once quality goals were met, and 10% embedded dedicated SDETs — scaling from a manual baseline to 14M+ monthly executions across web, mobile, and API layers; at EVERFI, architected a JSON schema-to-UI component mapping system that eliminated 100% of manual testing across 150+ unique courses, regenerating automated test scripts on demand in under 90 seconds.

Full-Stack Personal Project

Actively building a full-stack fantasy football platform in personal time — SolidJS, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and AWS infrastructure. Cloud deployment targeting mid-2026. Deliberately chose SolidJS to learn outside comfort zone. Full testing pyramid applied: Vitest, MSW, fast-check, and Playwright.
