Technical Lead & Product Owner

I build production systems end-to-end — from discovery to deploy.

Lead engineer, architect, and product owner for a 9-system IT transformation at a 7-state field service company — billing automation, an AI dispatch pipeline, a customer enrollment CRM, a high-volume email platform, a multi-state data sync hub, an ERP migration, an Operator Portal, and the infrastructure it all runs on. Shipped in 4 months, live at public URLs.

Selected work

Production systems built and operated end-to-end — most for a 7-state field service company, all shipped to real users.

Operator Portal

Production — internal

Field operations management system that is the system-of-record between 'work was done in the field' and 'the operator is paid and can see why.' Typed ports-and-adapters integration layer (OptimoRoute + Airtable), RBAC across Admin/Operations/Operator, a pay & retainer engine with 4 payroll calculators and a PaperTrail audit trail, and support ticketing with atomic approval → pay line item. 400+ backend specs, Playwright E2E.

AI Snow Dispatch Pipeline

Production — internal

Complaint and dispatch automation: fetches emails via Microsoft Graph, transcribes Vonage voicemails with Whisper, classifies complaints by eligibility with GPT-4o-mini, fuzzy-matches customers to Airtable records, and generates bilingual (EN/ES) dispatch notes — concurrently, via ThreadPoolExecutor. Eliminated all manual winter triage.

Odoo 18 Custom Module Suite

Live — client ERP

Suite of 8 custom Odoo 18 modules integrating field operations, CRM, payments, and tax compliance: an OptimoRoute connector syncing delivery orders and completion photos into Project Tasks, Helcim payment processing, fiscal-position enforcement on quotes, snowfall trigger management, and REST API endpoints for external systems.

Proxmox Private Cloud

Production — infrastructure

Self-hosted private cloud running the entire application stack: 5 production Debian VMs behind Caddy and Cloudflare Tunnel, deployed by self-hosted GitHub Actions runners with zero-downtime Docker Compose restarts — same-day deploys from a single git push, with Sentry monitoring across apps.

Technical Lead & Product Owner

Xecutive Development (Andrews Lawn & Snow)

Embedded as lead engineer, architect, and product owner for a 7-state, 16-office field service company. Discovered operational gaps, defined requirements from first principles, and shipped 9 production systems in 4 months — 8 live at public URLs.

  • Built the Operator Portal — the system-of-record between 'work was done in the field' and 'the operator is paid and can see why.' Rails 8 API + React/TypeScript, RBAC across three roles, a pay & retainer engine with 4 payroll calculators and a full audit trail, support ticketing with atomic approval → pay line item. 400+ backend specs, Playwright E2E.
  • Built an AI snow dispatch pipeline — Python + OpenAI that fetches emails from Microsoft Graph, transcribes voicemails, classifies complaints, fuzzy-matches customers to Airtable, and generates bilingual (EN/ES) dispatch notes. Eliminated all manual winter triage.
  • Engineered a multi-service customer enrollment app with Stripe SubscriptionSchedule installments, Avalara real-time multi-jurisdiction tax, DocuSign pre-fill across 43 fields, and MongoDB audit snapshots — 21 system tests including a 16-matrix payment flow E2E run.
  • Operate a production email platform dispatching 10,000+ emails per batch across 7 states — Sidekiq pipeline over 7 OptimoRoute accounts, Airtable bulk resolution, and Microsoft Graph OAuth2 throttled to Exchange Online limits.
  • Provisioned a self-hosted Proxmox private cloud (5 production Debian VMs, Caddy, Cloudflare Tunnel, GitHub Actions CI/CD) with same-day deploys from a single git push; resolve production incidents across the whole stack.

About

I work the full engineering-to-product loop without handoffs: discovering operational gaps, defining requirements from first principles, writing the production code, and resolving the incidents when things break at 2am.

Five years across the full stack and the AI/LLM layer — Rails, Next.js, Python, and multi-provider LLM pipelines — with enterprise SaaS product ownership and distributed systems along the way. Outside work: cinematography, music making, and a standing curiosity about physics and philosophy.
