Employment

Xcellent Technology Solutions

As a Geospatial Software Developer on the Hydro Tools team at XTS, contracted to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), I build and maintain software for hydrologic modeling and large-scale geospatial data analysis. I work on 3D hydrologic models and Python-based workflows (including pandas and cloud-native geospatial tooling) that support USGS programs such as the National Map Project. Day to day that means designing modeling pipelines, optimizing algorithms, and turning scientific requirements into reliable software the team can run and extend.

Ravenwood Software

Freelance agency work building websites and CMS setups for small businesses and local clients—mostly Next.js and Sanity so clients can edit their own content. I handle the full stack from design through deploy, use Git for version control, and keep timelines realistic.

Community Ventures

Developer on a housing counseling CMS rebuild: moved the organization off a restrictive low-code stack onto a custom Django backend that could grow with them. Built ETL pipelines to migrate data from legacy systems into the mPact Pro platform, cut down manual data work, and worked with stakeholders on features and SQL-backed business objects under real production load.

Whayne Supply

Built a shop application for the Jeffersonville, IN location so technicians could manage jobs with a secure employee login. Worked with the service manager on day-to-day operations—opening and closing work orders, tracking expenses against monthly service budgets, and helping resolve customer repair issues on the floor.

U.S. Army

As Section Chief and Platoon Sergeant (MOS 13M MLRS), I was responsible for the soldiers and equipment under my charge from 2008–2016. Two South Korea tours and two combat deployments. Medically discharged as Staff Sergeant (SSG).
