Local Theory (Startup) - Software Engineer
Nov 2019 - Sept 2020
  • Led end-to-end research, project management, and development of a versatile analytics and content management dashboard POC with clear upsell potential for new revenue.
  • Optimized DPI scaling for on-screen barcodes on low-resolution displays in a Kotlin WebView, using Laplacian variance analysis for DPI sharpness.
  • Handled GCP user security permissions with role-based best practices, managing access for multiple client companies to the GCP organization.
Acxiom - Software Engineer
Jan 2011 - Nov 2019
  • Led the cloud migration of 3 legacy data platform environments from an internal data center to AWS infrastructure.
  • Led integration of a next-gen distributed identity data platform: 2 TB in-memory C++ engine, Java engine for real-time operations, Node.js REST API microservices.
  • Recognized with an MVP award for mentoring 4 engineers and elevating team expertise in cutting-edge technologies, particularly cloud computing, through proactive knowledge sharing.

PROJECTS

Self-Hosted AI Server - AI-driven services on resource-limited hardware
Jan 2026 - Present
  • Built an AI-assisted server on constrained hardware hosting 15+ custom services for data scraping, systems monitoring, rich multimedia file browsing, and intelligent search.
  • Tuned for efficiency under hard constraints: 20+ scheduled automations, daily website deployments, reporting, and automated alerting that flags anything out of line.
  • Operating within hard limits surfaces inefficiencies that make the software I design elsewhere better.
Animated Graphics Pipeline - LLM-driven marketing and instructional assets
May 2026 - Present
  • Used text-output LLMs to produce animated marketing and instructional graphics, with parametric Remotion rules so minor changes never require looping back through the LLM.
  • Used multimodal LLMs to analyze image content and auto-label instructional animations with arrows and text, replacing manual video-editor work.
  • Assets are used for business branding across images and videos.
3D Design Tooling - Custom workflows and private web apps
April 2024 - Present
  • Created numerous workflows and private, proprietary 3D apps to model design with features missing from most 3D design software.
