About
I write the interface, then I keep going until the rest of the stack stops getting in the way.
Software Engineer at CoComply. I own the frontend of a production compliance product that banks actually use — a useful filter for ideas that only look good in a demo. Previously Product Engineer at thirdStartup: empty repo to production, on timelines that were not a suggestion.
20, third-year CS. Design came first, before any of this had a job title. I still use it as the difference between shipped and done.
When I'm not doing that, I build agentic systems. The model is cheap. Getting it to finish the job is the work.

Experience
CoComply
Utah, USA — Remote
- Core Product Frontend — Architected and independently built CoComply's entire authenticated web application from scratch (70+ production pages over 1+ year), integrating 80+ backend REST APIs at ~100ms average response time with no request exceeding 1s.
- Multi-Tenant Support Platform — Designed and built a standalone support site with a dedicated BFF (backend-for-frontend) layer, solving a core platform limitation: the main app deploys a separate instance per client, but the support site could not. Engineered one-click, fully-authenticated client-specific redirects (e.g. from a client's CoComply dashboard directly into their own support docs) with zero added login friction for end users, eliminating the need for per-client support site deployments.
- In-House AI Agent — Built the frontend and contributed to the backend for CoComply's in-house dashboard-embedded AI agent, enabling in-context AI assistance across the product.
- Enterprise & Compliance Impact — Delivered a SOC2-compliant, production-grade system used daily by enterprise banking clients. Hold the highest individual commit share (~67%) across core repositories on the engineering team.

The one I'm proudest of is closed-source because it's the business. The rest are on GitHub in various states of "I'll clean this up later." If you're still curious, GitHub is a good place to start.

Serving Tenant-Specific Content from a Single Global Deployment
Most multi-tenant SaaS systems start life in a silo model. Each enterprise customer gets their own deployment, their own subdomain, usually their own backend, and a routing story so obvious nobody even calls it routing.
