Forward Deployed Engineer | Full-Stack Engineer | Systems & Automation
Full-Stack Engineer at FYCLabs, working directly with founders and early users to take product concepts from whiteboard to production. I split my time between shipping customer-facing features and going a layer deeper than the framework — building the infrastructure, tooling, and automation that make a small team move fast.
I also run Plainform, my own automation and print-on-demand operation, which means I see software from the customer's side of the table: scoping with non-technical stakeholders, deploying into messy real-world environments, and owning the outcome rather than the ticket.
Austin, TX.
- Ship full-stack production apps end to end — frontend, API, database, deploy
- Work customer-facing: scoping with founders/C-suite, deploying on-site, iterating from real feedback
- Go below the abstraction — I've written my own HTTP framework in C++ to understand the layer I build on
- Build AI-powered automation and workflow tooling (n8n, GoHighLevel, ElevenLabs, Twilio)
An Express-style HTTP framework written from scratch in C++ (~3,200 LOC), built to understand web servers from the socket up. Implements a segment-trie router with parameterized routes (exact matches beat params, e.g. /user/me over /user/:id), a middleware chain with next() continuations, and mountable sub-routers with path rewriting. Concurrency is handled by a bounded thread pool over keep-alive connections.
Currently refactoring the request layer toward an epoll-based event loop and hardening the parser for large/streamed bodies.
Tech: C++, Sockets, Multithreading
Business automation platform with lead-generation pipelines, Google Sheets integration, and AI-powered sales calling via ElevenLabs and Twilio. Multi-tenant by design, containerized with Docker, backed by PostgreSQL with Firebase auth. Built for real small-business clients through Plainform — deployed, maintained, and iterated on with non-technical owners.
Tech: n8n, GoHighLevel, ElevenLabs, Twilio, PostgreSQL, Docker
Full-stack app with real-time messaging over WebSockets, video calling via Stream SDK, and Firebase auth. React frontend with custom components; Node/Express backend handling concurrent WebSocket connections at <100ms latency. Deployed on Render.
Tech: React, Node.js, Express, WebSockets, WebRTC, Firebase
Hardware + software system that routes M filament spools across N Bambu 3D printers — material multiplexing and job scheduling for my own print farm. Integrates with the printers over MQTT/LAN. A real engineer-builds-infra-for-their-own-business project; demo slice coming soon.
Tech: Embedded, MQTT, Scheduling, Bambu Lab integration
