Full-stack engineer who ships production software for a business he also runs.

I build the SaaS. I run the company that uses it. I teach the stack to the next cohort of engineers. That loop — operator → builder → instructor → operator — is the whole thing.

PartyPad — multi-tenant SaaS + contractor marketplace for the party rental industry. Started as an internal CRM for my own rental company, grew into a platform other companies pay for.

• Multi-tenant architecture with role-scoped access, tenant-isolated data, and a SUPER_ADMIN control plane
• Two-sided marketplace matching rental operators with contractors for delivery, setup, and breakdown
• Native mobile app in production on the iOS App Store and Google Play — React Native/Expo, biometric auth, EAS build pipeline, Twilio SMS
• Self-hosted infrastructure I own end to end — Linode Ubuntu VPS, nginx, PM2, MongoDB, Redis, Socket.io realtime, self-hosted Mailcow SMTP, Grafana/Prometheus observability
• Hardened by hand — key-only SSH on a non-standard port, Fail2Ban, UFW
• Enterprise tenants onboarded, Stripe billing architected, website-builder templating system in progress

SATX Bounce — one of the larger amusement rental companies in San Antonio. Owned and operated. It's why PartyPad solves real problems instead of imagined ones: every feature was a bad day I had first.

I self-host on purpose. I'd rather understand the whole box than rent an abstraction over it — which means when production breaks at 6am on a Saturday delivery run, I'm the one who fixes it, not a support ticket.

I've taught full-stack web development bootcamps with Codecademy/Caltech and W3Schools, including a 12-week MERN curriculum I authored from scratch — with AI tooling woven through every module instead of bolted on as a novelty unit. Project-based, hands-on, no toy problems.

Explaining systems to people learning them is the fastest way I know to find the parts of my own architecture that don't hold up.

• 0→1 product engineering: spec, architecture, ship, operate
• Multi-tenant SaaS design and the unglamorous parts (billing, roles, onboarding, compliance)
• Full-stack TypeScript across web, mobile, and infrastructure
• Working with non-technical stakeholders — I am one, in my other job
• Developer education, DevRel, technical writing, curriculum design

Open to contract, fractional, and full-time work. If you need someone who treats your business constraints as engineering requirements, let's talk.
