About Me

Computer Science, UTSA • Costco IT • Platform & full-stack engineering

I’m a software engineer with experience across observability platforms and full-stack development. I enjoy turning complex systems into clear, actionable information and building software that teams can trust.

My current work centers on enterprise monitoring and operational visibility, while my project background spans responsive interfaces, REST APIs, authentication, payments, and relational and document databases.

What I value

Clarity

Useful dashboards, understandable interfaces, and readable code.

Reliability

Systems that are observable, predictable, and easier to troubleshoot.

Craft

Careful engineering, strong collaboration, and polished user experiences.

My path

Foundation

Developed a strong computer science foundation at UTSA while building full-stack, database, and Android projects.

Collaboration

Worked with H-E-B Digital in a production-style university partnership using React, TypeScript, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and Agile workflows.

Today

Supporting Costco IT’s Observability Platform Engineering team with Dynatrace, DQL, dashboards, monitoring, automation, and reliability work.

EXPERIENCE

Real-world collaboration, production-style workflows, and team-based development.
