Professional Summary

Hybrid Infrastructure & Software Engineer with extensive expertise bridging enterprise networking, high-availability virtualization, and full-stack application development.

Proven track record of owning revenue-generating e-commerce ecosystems, architecting zero-downtime production environments, and leading Tier-3 incident response for complex multi-subnet cloud and bare-metal infrastructures.

Professional Experience

  • Architected and deployed high-availability production and staging environments on virtualized server infrastructure, optimizing compute, storage, and isolated domain routing for zero-downtime releases.
  • Developed and containerized core services using Docker and Node.js, exposing scalable endpoints through API Gateway, streaming real-time telemetry with Socket.io, and managing relational data models via PostgreSQL.
  • Built responsive, low-latency front-end web applications with React, integrating secure media asset storage and delivery pipelines powered by Cloudflare S3.
  • Configured and hardened reverse proxy infrastructures to manage domain isolation, traffic routing, and secure cross-environment communications between staging and production tiers.
  • Deploy, optimize, and manage enterprise Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environments using Nerdio, alongside complex, high-availability Hyper-V environments and seamless data migrations.
  • Act as primary Tier-3 escalation authority for complex infrastructure and network incidents, consistently exceeding SLAs and driving root-cause analysis (RCA).
  • Architect and manage complex WAN/LAN topologies, configuring firewalls, advanced access control lists (ACLs), and secure multi-subnet environments.
  • Establish enterprise-grade monitoring strategies via PRTG and ConnectWise Automate to capture real-time performance logging, system health telemetry, and automated alerting.
  • Technical Ecosystem: ConnectWise Automate/ScreenConnect, N-Central/Take Control, Microsoft 365, Windows Server, Cisco Meraki, SonicWall, Linux (Ubuntu), Hyper-V, Citrix Workspace, Datto BCDR, Addigy, PowerShell, Bash.
  • Led end-to-end engineering and platform governance for a high-volume $2M/yr e-commerce ecosystem — driving architectural decisions across a React front-end, API Gateway-driven Node.js backend, Shopify core, and multi-provider payment gateways.
  • Engineered automated integrations spanning Sanity, Recharge, and Shopify while architecting core release engineering standards, including Git branching strategies and long-term technical debt reduction.
  • Integrated third-party APIs (including Microsoft Graph API) into existing business applications to drive enhanced platform functionality and data flows.
  • Performed deep root-cause analysis on complex bug reports, engineering permanent codebase remediation and high-availability stability.
  • Provisioned and deployed mission-critical enterprise applications across physical bare-metal hardware and Microsoft Azure environments.
  • Implemented cloud-based traffic engineering and high-availability routing strategies using Azure Traffic Manager.
  • Administered critical network security architectures, managing production SonicWall rulesets, secure SSL VPN access, and multi-site connectivity.
  • Architected and provisioned the organization’s core on-premise business server infrastructure from the ground up, establishing secure network routing, identity access controls, and automated backup routines.
  • Engineered an international e-commerce platform using React, Node.js, and relational SQL, optimizing database queries, localized workflows, and global content delivery for high performance.
  • Designed and deployed secure internal employee portals, centralizing operational workflows, role-based access management (RBAC), and cross-departmental communications.
  • Built automated data pipelines in Node.js/SQL to extract, transform, and analyze platform telemetry and key business metrics for executive decision-making.
  • Diagnosed and resolved complex network connectivity, hardware, and OS-level anomalies using advanced telemetry tools like Wireshark under strict SLAs.
  • Installed, configured, and maintained enterprise workstation hardware, operating systems, and software configurations.
  • Implemented secure remote-access architectures (SSL VPN, RDP) to facilitate stable remote operations.
