Backend-focused software engineering student (Penn State World Campus) and U.S. Army operations leader building production-style backend services.
I build APIs with clean architecture, database persistence, migrations, Dockerized development, and CI. Currently focused on Python/FastAPI, PostgreSQL, MongoDB Atlas, and cloud fundamentals.
- ✅ Backend Engineering: Python, FastAPI, REST APIs, OpenAPI/Swagger
- ✅ Databases: PostgreSQL, SQL, MongoDB Atlas, PyMongo, schema design, migrations
- ✅ DevOps Fundamentals: Docker, Docker Compose, CI/CD (GitHub Actions)
- ✅ API Design: modular routing, service layers, validation, persistence, CRUD workflows
- ✅ Portfolio Focus: production-style backend services for incident, readiness, and manufacturing-style data workflows
- Incident Tracker API — Production-style incident management API with FastAPI + PostgreSQL, Alembic migrations, Docker Compose, and GitHub Actions CI.
- Production Tracker — Manufacturing-style backend API built with FastAPI, PyMongo, and MongoDB Atlas for creating, listing, retrieving, and deleting production records.
- Readiness API — Personnel readiness backend service modeling readiness records with schema validation, modular routing, and extensible architecture.
- Inventory / Operations API — CRUD API with SQL persistence (expanding with auth + operational workflows).
- Data Structures Library (C++) — Core DS implementations with tests/benchmarks.
- Add pagination + sorting + timeline updates endpoint to Incident Tracker API
- Integration tests against Postgres in CI
- Deploying services (Render → AWS) + cloud fundamentals (networking, IAM, containers)
- Observability basics (structured logging, health checks, metrics)
