I’ve been building software for as long as I can remember. I started out with plain PHP websites back in the day and eventually turned that passion into a career, earning my associate’s degree from Cincinnati State and a bachelor’s in IT from the University of Cincinnati, graduating on the Dean’s List from both. Professionally, I’ve had the chance to work across a variety of environments. At GE Aviation, I focused on improving internal tools using C++ and VB.NET. After that, I joined Becht, where I now work as a full-stack .NET developer. My day-to-day work covers the full lifecycle of applications - from backend services and database design to front-end implementation, API integrations, and Azure deployments. I also regularly collaborate with stakeholders to refine requirements and improve user experience. Beyond team projects, I’ve built several end-to-end solutions independently. One example is an automated invoicing system that reduced manual effort and operational costs. Another is an AI-powered chatbot designed for non-technical users to access data without directly querying the database - This involved feeding sanitized, serialized JSON data to the chatbot and evaluating the most efficient data format & files structure (large vs smaller files), trying different custom instructions, prompts, and AI models and evaluating the accuracy of the results to reach peak performance. Over the last few years, I have been working extensively with React & Next.js, utilizing the latest AI tools to build complex websites at a rapid pace, experimenting with various MCP servers & AI Agent instructions/setup to optimize the efficiency and results accuracy, comparing the code quality of different agents and being in the process of both teaching and learning the best coding practices to/from AI. One of my recent projects, GEMO (_Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ is a meal delivery platform for offices. I’d be happy to walk you through how it’s built, both from a user flow and technical perspective.
