I'm a Lead Technologist and senior software engineer with 20+ years of experience delivering scalable SaaS platforms, AI-powered applications, and enterprise systems across public and private sectors. As founder of ALTR Technology Group, I serve as sole developer and product architect across multiple SaaS products — taking ideas from concept to production as a solo engineer.

My track record spans two-sided recruiting platforms, multi-tenant compliance SaaS, mobile B2C apps, and quantitative trading tools. Before ALTR, I held a senior engineering role at IBM deployed to U.S. Army LDAC, taught CS at Georgia State University and Fulton County Schools, and co-founded V-Chain Solutions, raising $483K through the ATI/UT Austin incubator.

I'm currently open to senior individual contributor, staff engineer, architect, and engineering leadership roles.
