He leads end-to-end engineering efforts—from API design and serverless AWS architectures to subscription/payment integrations using Stripe—and emphasizes test-driven development with Pytest and coverage tooling. At Pillar Consulting he built Mozilla’s SubHub subscription platform with Lambda, DynamoDB, SNS and custom domain/IAM controls, and also authored an onboarding Slackbot used for new-hire workflows.

Based in Greater Houston, he pairs an early finance background with deep technical chops to align product, compliance and operational needs. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic abstractions that let multiple clients safely share APIs and deployment pipelines.
