Professional Summary

Senior Backend and Integrations Engineer who makes legacy and modern systems work together - reliably, and at scale. I specialize in Python automation and high-availability architecture, with deep expertise bridging on-premise environments (MSSQL 12) to cloud platforms (Azure/AWS) via Hybrid Connections, and building resilient middleware and background task queues (Celery, Cron) that keep critical API integrations running under load.

I also build the control layer on top of that automation - functional admin interfaces that give visibility into and control over the background jobs and task queues running underneath. Separately, I've built accessibility-first solutions with NVDA screen-reader support, ensuring the software I ship works for every user, not just the default one.

Right now I'm deepening my work in Generative AI - fine-tuning LLMs with LoRA/QLoRA, and building the evaluation and regression-testing pipelines around them that catch real training defects before they ship
