NB

I ship end-to-end features across React, Rust, and Python, usually owning the interaction model, the contracts behind it, and the operational footing so the system stays diagnosable under load.

I'm a Senior Fullstack Engineer at ZioSec, where I lead UI architecture for agentic security tooling and build the services it depends on.

Selected systems

Agentic Red-Teaming Platform

React · TypeScript · Rust · Axum · PostgreSQL

UI architecture and product flows for an agentic security-testing SaaS. Defined UX patterns for attack workflows with no prior models. The hard part: modeling complex state machines without overwhelming researchers.

Air-Gapped Graph Intelligence

React · TypeScript · Rust · Ollama · Python · ReGraph

End-to-end natural-language querying with local LLMs in zero-egress environments. Shipped on-premise graph exploration without external AI providers. The hard part: making local models performant enough to feel interactive at scale.

Legacy Platform Migration

Gatsby · React · AWS

Migration of 6000+ PHP pages to static generation. Load times from 33s to 2.6s with zero data loss. The hard part: balancing build-time explosion vs. runtime performance during incremental rollout.

FAQ

What roles are you targeting?
Senior fullstack, product-focused, frontend-heavy. I like owning a feature end to end.
What is your stack?
React and TypeScript on the client. Rust (Axum) and Python on the backend. Postgres by default, with exceptions for graph-heavy workloads.
Frontend or backend?
Usually 70/30. I lead UI architecture and also build the APIs and services it depends on.
What kind of work do you avoid?
Roles where most of the stack is Java. I do my best work in TypeScript, Rust, and Python.
What environments have you shipped in?
SaaS, on-prem and air-gapped deployments, enterprise, and performance-constrained data apps.
What do you care about most?
Operability. Clear UX, predictable latency, and fast debugging when something breaks.
Remote and location?
Vancouver, WA. Remote friendly (PST).
Work authorization?
US.
Open to relocation?
No.
How should someone evaluate me quickly?
Pick a system above and ask about the tradeoffs and failure modes. I do well in practical design and debugging sessions, or building projects.
