Backend Software Engineer with 9 years of real-world support engineering experience — I know exactly what breaks in production and how to build systems that don't.
I specialize in Python / FastAPI backends and have shipped multiple full-stack products end-to-end, including an iOS App Store app, browser-based games, and AI-powered workflow tools.

9 years in support engineering means I've worked at the intersection of users, code, and production systems longer than most backend engineers. I know which API decisions cause 3am escalations, which data models make reporting impossible later, and how to build tooling that support teams will actually use.
- API design — I've designed REST APIs that had to serve both power users and internal tooling. I care about consistent error shapes, versioning, and docs that don't lie.
- Shipping real products — SupportOps, Dividend Tracker, ToDoMon (App Store), Whimsy Hollow — not tutorials, not clones.
- AI integration — Wired Anthropic Claude into production workflows (SupportOps AI Suggester, Dividend Tracker portfolio chat). I know the failure modes.
- Cross-stack — Python backend, React frontend, mobile (Capacitor + React Native), desktop (Tauri). I can own a feature end-to-end.
- 🎫 SupportOps — adding role-based auth, SLA timers, and CSV export
- 📈 Dividend Tracker — DRIP simulation and dividend growth rate (CAGR) views
