Rebuilding Resolution Center
I led the rebuild of Pixee's primary remediation workspace, moving it to a scan-centric architecture and making it easier for security teams to investigate findings, prioritize work, and apply fixes.
Selected work
The work, not just the technology.
Enterprise integrations
For an on-premise customer deployment, I built a Java REST API and integrated GitHub OAuth/OIDC authentication, connecting the backend, React application, and deployment configuration into a working system.
Solving problems at the source
I helped redesign remediation pull request handling across four source-control platforms, so rescanning a repository updates or closes outdated fix PRs rather than creating duplicates.
Beyond the interface
I work across the whole system.
The best solution is rarely confined to one part of the stack. At Pixee, I've worked across APIs, data access, integrations, and customer-facing workflows:
- Designed and built a Java/Quarkus REST API with GitHub authentication for single-tenant enterprise deployments.
- Removed N+1 query patterns in findings retrieval and consolidated data access to reduce repeated API calls.
- Worked across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps to make remediation pull requests behave consistently when new scans arrive.
- Delivered findings export functionality needed by a major banking customer, preserving the filters users applied in the interface.
How I approach the work
Clarify. Design. Build. Follow through.
I like taking an unclear problem, finding the important constraints, and breaking it into changes that can be reviewed and delivered safely. I look for the edge cases early, especially when a change touches existing behavior.
I care as much about what happens after a feature ships as I do about getting it out the door.
Open-source project · observability
Hypha
I co-created Hypha, an open-source observability platform that connects logs and distributed traces to make debugging easier. I built parts of its telemetry pipeline, led the React frontend, and deployed containerized services on AWS ECS/Fargate.
A little about me
A winding path into engineering.
Before working in software, I made cabinets, built websites for clients, and studied programming through Launch School. I still value the things those experiences taught me: care for the details, persistence when a problem is stubborn, and the satisfaction of making something useful.
What I bring
Taking a problem from a rough specification through implementation, review, deployment, and follow-up. I enjoy both building features and questioning designs before they become expensive to change.
Stack
TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Java, AWS, Docker, OpenTelemetry.
