30+ years solving the problems other people escalate to me. 17 years at Fiserv as the last line of defense for 300+ financial institutions. I led the bridge calls. I built the automation. I mentored the team. And when I left, I didn't stop building.
My next role is in operations and production support — that's where I belong. I built these to keep my engineering instincts sharp and prove I can ship real software, not just maintain it.
Production REST API on Fly.io. Auth, rate limiting, data quality gate, eBay integration, Redis caching, SQL persistence. Not a side project — it's deployed, running, and handling real traffic.
Full SaaS platform. 104 job profiles. AI resume matching with gap analysis. Career DNA Quiz. Python Character Studio running FLUX.2 image generation locally with LoRA-trained characters and FFmpeg video assembly. The whole stack. Built by one person.
Native iOS — barcode scanning, OCR, on-device ML, eBay OAuth. Production-grade architecture: MVVM with async/await, persistent job queues, proper error handling.
Parallel recognition across multiple AI providers. Confidence merging, fuzzy dedup, automated brand inference.
iOS + Apple Watch. Adaptive scheduling, pattern analytics, bidirectional device comms.
Hundreds of hours using AI as a force multiplier — code generation, debugging, API integration, architecture decisions. Every project on this page was built with AI-assisted workflows.
All image generation runs locally on my machine. Custom LoRA model training, text-to-speech, music generation. No cloud GPU bill. No external dependencies.
Built multi-source automated pipelines with deduplication, geo-filtering, AI-powered content tailoring, and push notifications. If a process runs more than once, I automate it.
Production deployments across multiple cloud platforms. This portfolio, my API, and my SaaS app all run on infrastructure I configured and maintain myself.
The person they paged at 2 AM when 300 financial institutions were waiting. Led P1/P2 bridge calls — coordinating dev, DBA, network, and infrastructure teams in real time. Managed 60–100+ servers across multiple data centers. Built the automation that made multi-day operations take hours. Splunk, Datadog, ServiceNow, Jira, ITIL. Mentored every junior engineer who came through the team. Conducted technical interviews because they trusted my judgment.
Perl and C data pipelines on UNIX. Automated document delivery at scale. High-volume database loading for scientific publications. The kind of backend work that only breaks when nobody's maintaining it.
C and ESQL/C development on UNIX and Windows. Built socket server daemons and GUI client applications from scratch. Wrote Informix stored procedures and database triggers. Provided direct client-facing technical support — learned early that understanding the user's problem matters as much as writing the fix.
Started on the phones supporting POS systems. Got promoted to QA. Then to the TAC Team — the people they called when support couldn't solve it. Then to programmer. Three promotions in three years. The pattern started here.
Matt was the person everyone turned to when things went sideways. He didn't just fix the problem — he made sure it never happened again. His automation work saved our team hundreds of hours.
I learned more from Matt in my first six months than I did in two years at my previous job. He has a way of breaking down complex systems that makes everything click. Best mentor I've had.
