About.

/01

I'm a backend engineer. Been doing this for 5 years at Intelligent Buildings — a company that makes software for smart commercial buildings. My day-to-day is Java and Python, building the APIs and data pipelines that connect HVAC systems, sensors, and energy meters across thousands of buildings.

Currently finishing my BS at the University of Memphis — College of Professional Studies, with a concentration in AI & Computer Science — while working full-time. I'm available for remote roles, full-time or contract.

Intelligent Buildings
  • Designed and shipped production REST APIs and microservices in Java/Spring Boot powering a smart building IoT platform — serving live data from HVAC, access control, energy meters, and sensors across thousands of buildings globally.
  • Built real-time ingestion pipelines using Elasticsearch to process high-volume building telemetry at scale — feeding operational dashboards and automated alerting systems with sub-second latency.
  • Led backend architecture for IntelliNet, a 24/7 monitoring and cybersecurity SaaS product — owned API design, database schema, and service reliability for a platform deployed across billions of sq ft of commercial real estate.
  • Built protocol integrations for BACnet, Modbus, and MQTT — normalized fragmented vendor data from 30+ device types into a single unified API layer consumed by frontend clients and third-party systems.
  • Reduced API p95 latency by 60% through Redis caching, query optimization, and strategic indexing across PostgreSQL and MongoDB — measured and validated with load testing.
  • Work in a cross-functional team with IT/OT engineers, cybersecurity consultants, and PMs — two-week sprints, code reviews, on-call rotation for production incidents.
