independent software engineer & architect — seattle

Senior software architect who ships.

I design and build the hard systems — event-driven integrations, supply-chain platforms, and complete products — and stay accountable through go-live.

the specialty

The integration layer between your commerce systems and your warehouse.

New fulfillment center, WMS migration, OMS replacement, peak-season readiness — event-driven integration I've architected and built at enterprise scale. And I'm on-site when it goes live.

Nordstrom · 2018 – 2023

Five years inside one retailer's supply chain

Brought in as a consultant through PeloTech; Nordstrom hired me full-time a year later. I architected and built their supply-chain integration through 2023 — and I've been fully independent since.

The workstreams
  • 3P dropship integration — event-driven, built for availability and throughput
  • WMS integration — 22 microservices on Kubernetes; technical lead for the engineering team
  • Omnichannel warehouse launch — supported the go-live of a new omni facility
  • WMS evaluation — assessed top-tier WMS platforms for selection
