About

Full-stack Software Engineer at Rapid7, building security intelligence tooling that helps teams make sense of their data. I work across the stack — from React frontends and Spring Boot backends to infrastructure and AI integrations — and I take pride in owning projects end-to-end, from architecture decisions through to production monitoring. Recently I've been leading my team's cross-functional delivery, working closely with Product and UX to shape what we build next.

Software Engineer II
I build tools that help security teams cut through the noise — fast, reliable, and AI-powered where it counts. At Rapid7, I work across the full stack on a security log intelligence platform. Some highlights from the past year: 🤖 AI Log Explainer — Built an end-to-end AI feature that takes raw security log lines and explains them in plain English, structured around who, what, where, and when. I handled everything from backend API design to frontend integration, and set up full observability with Langfuse (token usage, costs, latency) and Grafana dashboards. 🗂️ Tabbed Log Search — Led the design, implementation, and launch of a tabbed browsing experience for our log search product. Built the backend persistence layer, kept the frontend snappy under load, and owned post-launch monitoring. 🏗️ Toolchain Migration — Migrated our monorepo from Lerna + Webpack to NX + Vite, improving build performance and developer experience across the team. 👥 Team Lead (Jan 2025–present) — Took on full responsibility for inter-team coordination, working directly with PM and UX on roadmap and design, and supporting newer engineers getting up to speed.
