Experience

Software Engineer
Tempo Software LLC · Sept. 2025 – Present · Sacramento, CA

Built a multithreaded Java batch processing system where threads claim records via a primary key constraint used as a distributed lock, preventing duplicate processing without blocking transactions and cutting a manual workflow from 3 hours to 25 minutes across 700+ records per run.
Shipped a Java timesheet autofill service used by 3,000+ employees, cutting per-employee entry time 84% (25s → 4s) with custom line-detection logic that generates pre-validated entries.
Traced heavy production load through AWS CloudWatch, and replaced unbounded California State API calls with 4 scoped REST endpoints with schema validation, ending recurring outages.
Drove WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility across the entire ExtJS application with one other developer, owning front-end remediation and serving as a team resource on accessibility implementation.

Software Engineering Intern
Living in Silico · Aug. 2024 – May 2025 · Remote

Cut simulation runtime 35% in a drug-discovery pipeline by parallelizing computation, scaling to 500,000+ molecular interaction calculations per screening run.
Built a Python/Flask application driving molecular docking end-to-end: uploads, job execution, results delivery.
Selected by the CEO to lead a 3-person engineering team, owning system architecture, UX flow design, and RxDock integration research that set the project’s technical direction.

Projects

Tournament Management Platform | CCEL (Nonprofit) | Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Terraform, AWS

Deployed the containerized Spring Boot, Kafka, and Next.js stack to AWS on Terraform-provisioned infrastructure (EC2, RDS, ECR), resolving real provisioning failures spanning EBS sizing and AMI selection.
Kept bracket state correct under concurrent score reports from opposing participants using optimistic locking (@Version) on match rows, so one fails cleanly rather than corrupting state; verified with Testcontainers.
Decoupled match reporting from downstream processing by publishing state transitions to Kafka after commit, letting notification fanout, audit logging, and future consumers subscribe independently.

Distributed Matchmaking & Simulation Engine | Java, Spring Boot, Redis, Nginx, WebSockets

Built a horizontally scalable matchmaking system using Redis queues and Nginx load balancing to route player requests across a multi-server cluster.
Engineered a 30Hz server-authoritative tick engine over WebSockets to drive real-time game loops, validate client inputs, and broadcast state updates.
Distributed load evenly using atomic Redis increments and added randomized jitter to eliminate race conditions when servers claim users from a shared FIFO queue.

Multi-Game Stats Tracker | Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, Chart.js

Cut external API latency and database load 90%+ with a Redis caching layer fronting MongoDB, absorbing repeat lookups against rate-limited third-party game APIs instead of refetching per request.
Designed a weighted scoring algorithm normalizing competitive metrics across gaming platforms (Riot Games, Supercell), rendering raw API payloads as interactive charts.
