I started by breaking software.

Two years of testing other people’s work taught me where products actually fail.

One test suite, 50+ TV boards at once.

At LG I built the distributed test infrastructure that ran suites in parallel across more than fifty TV boards in the in-house labs.

• Distributed test infrastructure across 50+ TV boards
• Automation frameworks the whole team wrote tests on
• Python regression suites: manual cycles cut from weeks to days

Then I built the TV itself.

I moved from testing the TVs to building their system apps on webOS: Settings, the User Guide, Help. React on a television, shipped with teams on three continents.

• webOS TV system apps: Settings, User Guide, Help
• Built on Enact, LG’s React framework
• Shipped with teams across North America, Asia and Europe

A cloud security console, from an empty repo.

At Aporeto, a cloud security startup, I built the production web console from scratch in React and Redux, plus a fine-grained RBAC system. Palo Alto Networks bought the company the next year.

• Production front end built from scratch
• Fine-grained RBAC and permission models
• Go microservices for policy enforcement and auth

Four years on Prisma Cloud.

A shared component library, an Angular-to-React migration across teams, and a stretch as acting lead for two teams rolling out CIS-benchmark compliance as code.

• Co-led the shared component library
• Guided teams through the Angular-to-React migration
• Acting engineering lead for two teams

Security for generative AI.

Staff Engineer at Acuvity: a modular React app in the monorepo, a GraphQL gateway over the REST services, and a type-safe data layer generated from OpenAPI specs.

• GraphQL gateway consolidating REST services
• OpenAPI to JSON Schema to TypeScript: schema-driven forms
• Time-series dashboards on Mimir and Prometheus

Now I build my own.

Since 2025 I have been designing, building and running my own products, every layer of them.
