Senior software engineer. Research-adjacent backends: PostgreSQL, APIs, pipelines, and documentation for research and analysis teams.
Backend engineer with sixteen years of production experience, working remotely from Portland, OR. Most of my work has been the data layer and what surrounds it: schemas and migrations, HTTP/GraphQL APIs, batch and async pipelines, and technical documentation for handoff and long-term maintenance.
I prefer systems that research and analysis teams can run day to day: correct data, clear docs, small remote teams.
- Data layer: PostgreSQL schema design, production migrations, reporting SQL with analysts
- APIs and services: RESTful and GraphQL backends; splitting owned services into standalone deployables
- Pipelines: ingest, async/batch jobs, Airflow when scheduled ETL is needed
- Documentation: technical designs, runbooks, operational handoff for engineers and non-engineering collaborators
