Full-Stack Software Engineer

Who I Help & What I Deliver

I help companies build and scale production web applications using React, Node.js, and .NET Core. Consistent track record of delivering measurable outcomes: 30% lift in user engagement, 40% reduction in deployment time, and 200+ systems shipped end-to-end.

What I bring: Deep technical execution combined with an entrepreneurial mindset. I founded and operated a technical consulting business before transitioning into senior engineering roles. I thrive in remote-first, agile environments and I'm known for writing clean, scalable code that moves business metrics.

Fast & Scalable

I build systems that stay fast under load. 99.8% uptime, sub-100ms response times, and architectures that grow with your users.

Maintainable Code

Clean, documented code that your team can actually work with. No spaghetti code or "clever" tricks that break everything.

Measurable Impact

Architected 5+ platform redesigns increasing engagement by 30%, engineered CI/CD pipelines reducing release time by 40%, and scaled back-end services maintaining 99.9% uptime under 50,000+ monthly active users.

My background: Started by founding Anthonab, delivering 200+ custom high-performance systems for gaming and AI workloads with 95%+ client satisfaction. That entrepreneurial foundation developed the systems-thinking approach that now underpins my software engineering practice at companies like Fourth Era and Solemn.

"Great code isn't just about making it work – it's about making it maintainable, scalable, and something the next developer won't curse you for writing."
