Software and solutions engineering

Full-stack software and solutions engineer

Building production platforms with React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, payments, authentication, and operational integrations.

I design, ship, and operate systems that real families and businesses use: enrollment, checkout, parent accounts, staff tools, quoting, invoicing, and CRM follow-up. Labels below show what is live versus still in development.

Selected work

Production software

These are the systems I designed, built, and still operate.

Production

Turtleback Robotics Academy Platform

A live education platform: public marketing site, program catalog, parent accounts, online enrollment, and payment checkout. A separate staff workspace supports day-to-day academy operations.

Parent-facing accounts, household members, class catalog, and checkout
Public enrollment kept separate from private staff tools
Built and operated against real academy programs

Live site Programs

I owned product requirements, interface and service work, integrations, and releases.

Operational Product

Turtleblock Studio

Browser IDE that turns Blockly into MicroPython, simulates hardware pins, and talks to Pico W and ESP32 boards over the Web Serial API.

Production

Turtleback Parent Portal

Live parent experience: create an account, manage household members, browse the course catalog, enroll, and complete payment checkout in one flow.

Operational Product

Turtleback Front Desk

Private staff workspace for daily academy operations: attendance, class management, curriculum, payment status, and family communications. Staff access is not published on this site.

A multi-system integration: Stripe payments, GoHighLevel CRM sync, Google OAuth sign-in, and email/SMS, with the client portal and staff admin site on one shared backend.

2026–Present

Platform Engineer

Turtleback Robotics Academy

Built the academy’s production software: public site, parent portal, checkout, and private staff tools used against live programs.

How I build

AI-assisted engineering

I build with AI every day, and I review everything it writes. I use Cursor to orchestrate multiple AI agents working in parallel or in sequence, alongside Claude, Codex, ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, plus local models through Ollama and Cline for private, secure work. I use them to scaffold features, trace APIs, diagnose bugs and refactor. Every change is reviewed and tested before it reaches the production systems families and staff rely on.

Coursework

AI and ML coursework (VSU M.S.)

Completed academic projects from CSCI 602 and CSCI 695. Coursework, not production products.

Completed Project

Term-Deposit Prediction Models

Compared logistic regression, decision trees, random forest, and a neural network on a public teaching dataset, including class-imbalance handling.

Python · classification · coursework

Completed Project

Language-Model Tokenizer Exercise

Byte-pair encoding, vocabulary construction, and encode/decode. Educational build, not a production model.

Python · tokenization · coursework

Completed Project

Data Mining in MATLAB

Clustering, SVM, decision trees, perceptrons, and neural-network toolbox labs with cross-validation.

Additional leadership and domain experience

What else I bring to an engineering team

Army First Sergeant and 92Y

23 years of property accountability, supply operations, inspections, and leadership. The same habits show up in releases: ownership, counts, documentation, and steady incident handling.

Robotics instruction

I also teach ages 6–16 at Turtleback Academy and served two semesters as a VSU robotics TA. That is why the education products exist.

Accounting and operations

B.S. in Accounting. Multi-property hospitality work informs quoting, invoicing, and the admin workflows in eloNest.

Education

May 2026

M.S., Computer Science

Virginia State University, GPA 4.0

2019

B.S., Accounting

Magna Cum Laude, Franklin University

Supports financial workflows and internal controls in products such as eloNest.

Software and solutions roles

I am interested in software and solutions engineering, implementation, and operational platforms. A software-focused résumé is available on request.
