Returned to BurstIQ to contribute to core platform development during a critical growth phase, initially focusing on backend systems within its blockchain-backed data platform. Built foundational capabilities in Java Spring, including a flexible Data Pipeline (field mapping, JavaScript transforms, rules), developing a deep, end-to-end understanding of how data moves through the system.

Transitioned back to the frontend to lead architecture across multiple initiatives—taking over stalled offshore-built projects, re-architecting them for scalability, and driving them to production. Served as tech lead for a key EMS project coordinating distributed teams, and designed a modern admin platform enabling intuitive control over complex data workflows while improving overall system cohesion and delivery.

Founded and operated a product-driven venture at the intersection of physical craftsmanship and digital engineering, building a scalable system for designing, producing, and delivering premium wood-based products. Architected end-to-end workflows that convert digital designs into precision-manufactured goods, emphasizing repeatability, quality, and efficiency. Designed and developed a modern web experience to support direct-to-consumer sales, brand storytelling, and customer engagement. Leveraged the business as an innovation lab to explore new models in productization, digital-to-physical pipelines, and tech-enabled creativity, applying a startup mindset to rapid iteration and continuous improvement.

Spearheaded BurstIQ's front-end modernization by leading a full migration from Angular to React, unifying in-person, remote, and offshore contributors into a high-performing team — growing junior developers into trusted engineers and delivering the Admin UI that powers the core of a cutting-edge blockchain platform.

Took ownership of Transamerica's most visible advisor-facing product — orchestrating 5 direct reports across 3 functional teams to deliver a full-stack portal on time, complete with a bespoke Node.js edge API, Docker-based CI/CD pipeline to AWS, and enterprise JWT authentication.

Transformed Pinnacol’s UI delivery by architecting a shared Angular component library and design system from scratch, while building Docker-based workflows integrated with Jenkins and Artifactory to streamline DevOps and continuous delivery. Cut deployment times from hours to seconds, rescued a behind-schedule project, delivered another ahead of schedule, and eliminated 15+ repos along with 40+ legacy builds of accumulated technical debt.

Executed a high-priority platform decoupling initiative for the US Olympic Committee — surgically separating the athlete portal from a monolithic Sitecore-based system and replacing it with a clean WebApi 2 back end, giving the USOC full ownership of their product roadmap.

Built the digital backbone of the US Olympic Committee's athlete operations — delivering sport-specific health insurance eligibility, athlete payment management, nationwide club discovery, and Games registration systems that directly served America's Olympic athletes at scale.

Rapidly delivered two flagship mobile experiences for a luxury travel brand — building gesture-driven calendars, rich filtering, and custom sorting — extending a premium product to mobile users without disrupting the existing platform.
