About Me

About me

Software engineer, Army veteran, business owner. I build things that work and ship them fast. I scaled a car dealership to six figures, built the SaaS platform to run it, and deploy client websites that rank on Google page 1. I bring the same intensity to every project whether it's a client site, a full-stack app, or a security tool.

Every project I touch is AI-accelerated. I use Claude, GPT, and agentic workflows daily to write better code, automate repetitive tasks, and ship features faster. Security is not an afterthought in my work.

I'm finishing my M.S. in Cybersecurity at CU Denver while building DealerFlow and taking on freelance clients. If you need a website, a platform, or an engineer who ships production code with urgency, let's talk.

Why Work With Me

Why work with me

What I bring beyond the resume.

Entrepreneurial Mindset

I built a six-figure dealership from nothing. I understand what business owners need because I am one. Your project gets treated like my own business, with urgency, ownership, and results that drive revenue.

AI-Driven Builds

Every project I touch is accelerated with AI. I use Claude, OpenAI, and agentic workflows daily to write better code faster, automate repetitive tasks, and build features that would take others twice as long.

Security-First

With an M.S. in Cybersecurity (3.5+ GPA), security is baked into everything I build. From secure authentication to encrypted data handling, your users' data stays protected by design, not as a patch.

Veteran Discipline

4 years active duty in the U.S. Army. I managed $250M+ in military assets, led soldiers through NATO operations across 12 countries, and earned 7 awards. Deadlines, pressure, and high stakes are where I perform best.
