Professional Experience

• Senior Software Engineer	October 2024 – Present
  Reckon Digital	https://reckondigital.com

  • Building a validation system for the World Food Programme’s Asset Impact Monitoring System (AIMS), which uses satellite imagery to track long-term landscape changes from food-assistance and engineering projects. The system supports asset validation and tracking, helping WFP analysts and participating countries run the program efficiently and at scale.

  • Implemented backend services in Django and PostgreSQL to power the validation workflows consumed by the AIMS frontend.

  • Entrusted with improving Reckon Digital’s use of generative AI across engineering and operational workflows, building practical agentic workflows that move beyond using LLMs as a simple chat interface.

  • Designed and developed reusable custom agent skills—several published—and contributed to AI agent harnesses, with a focus on the reliability, repeatability, and maintainability of AI-assisted workflows.

  • Developed ETL pipelines in Python to extract, transform, and load data from SAP HANA and other enterprise sources into PostgreSQL via Django’s ORM on Amazon RDS instances, and collaborated with database analysts on anomaly detection to identify transaction data issues and ensure pipeline integrity across multiple enterprise data sources.

  • Delivered demos of newly implemented features to stakeholders, and traveled internationally (Munich and Brussels) to give presentations, demos, and talks including at FOSDEM 2025.

• Software Engineer	May 2022 – March 2024
  Infleqtion	https://infleqtion.com

  • Developed application code that incorporated scientific data, configurations, tuning parameters, and science phase logic to control high frequency laser, microwave and optical sensor equipment.

  • Designed and implemented an end-user Python application for tracking and automating the production of key reliability metrics supporting the Quantum Processing Unit (QPU). This application saved a minimum of 3 hours of support staff time per week.

  • Maintained and continuously refactored a large Python monorepo to improve its quality; added new application code requested by the project’s stakeholders; reviewed, approved, and merged feature tickets.

• Software Engineer	July 2021 – March 2022
  GeneNetwork	https://genenetwork.org

  • Developed a system to turn git repositories containing Jupyter Notebooks into dynamic notebooks running in GNU Guix containers (Linux namespaces). This system allowed researchers to pair their journal publications with any of their referenced code or code-based supplementary materials in a reproducible manner within the web browser.

  • Enforced quality control of data uploads to GeneNetwork by developing a web application with unit tests that checks genetic data for common errors.

  • Mediated communications between and working closely with project managers, software engineers, and stakeholders to deliver correct designs.

• Software Consultant	2024 – Present
  CONDO ELECTRIC MOTOR REPAIR CORP.	https://condoelectric.com

  • Provide ongoing, as-needed consulting for the company’s open-source ERP (LedgerSMB), including legacy data migration, workflow customization, platform evaluation (Odoo), and translating stakeholder requirements into process maps and functional specifications.

  • Built a custom Django REST Framework service that uses generative AI to automate receipt processing, replacing manual data entry with structured data extraction.
