Professional Experience
Full Stack Engineer
Full stack development across the SAVANT product: iOS and Android applications, configuration tools, and the smart host.
- Delivered Conditions: a rule-based automation engine extending the Scenes system with conditional event propagation across a distributed, heterogeneous device stack
- Designed and implemented a versioned, backwards-compatible API around Scenes & Conditions, enabling reliable cross-stack evolution
- Developed Green Power storage configuration and PDU sequencing features end-to-end
- Co-architected system stack using JSON Schema, OpenAPI/Swagger in Go, and Mermaid diagrams
- Designed, implemented, and evangelized internal integration testing tool
- Constructed support for locally hosted voice recognition — originally designed for HIPAA compliance, processing all audio on-device with no cloud dependency
- Updated OTA software to comply with new Apple security requirements, including SSH key handling changes across the update pipeline
- Designed and implemented robust dynamic discovery system for smart devices on local network
Technical Director
Contract technical direction and implementation for Unity projects.
- Owned technical direction for the Game Dev Game Show — a live-broadcast Unity overlay with episode-configurable layout, persistent scoring, and custom shader work; aired publicly with notable industry guests
- Developed reusable animation and control library shared across client projects, accelerating delivery
UX Software Engineer
Co-op and internship spanning multiple semesters; promoted to full-time engineer upon graduation.
- Refactored real-time smarthome telemetry ingestion (energy, HVAC, music) from ad-hoc unvalidated parsers into a typed, data-validated struct pipeline consumed across the full application
- Designed and implemented Energy Microgrid Monitoring Panel, visualizing live power flow across multiple energy sources and grid state
- Refactored client-side and host-side networking logic, improving communications reliability across the device stack
