Staff engineer and team lead

Real-time products, from the phone to production

I lead a team of four to five engineers on Gavel, a real-time auction platform, from Overland Park. The work runs from the Expo app through the API, the admin, and the cloud it ships on.

Capabilities

How I work

The same stack as the day job, and the same care on a smaller site.

  1. Product systems

    Expo, Next.js, and NestJS as one product, from the mobile app through the admin.

  2. Cloud delivery

    Google Cloud, Firebase, Terraform, and the pipeline that ships each environment.

  3. Sites with a long life

    Next.js and WordPress for organizations that need a site they can keep.
