Summary

Software engineer working on production AI systems. I’m at Watchtower now, building an internal AI assistant after a year on their DevOps team, and I build iOS apps and data projects on my own. Next, I want a fast-paced team where results get rewarded: an early-stage startup, or a tech company pushing into something new.

Experience
Software Engineer, AI Systems, Watchtower (jw.org)
Feb 2026 – Present
  • Core engineer on the organization’s internal AI assistant for staff (.NET 10, React, LiteLLM).
  • Designed and own person lookup, the assistant’s gateway to staff and member data, with four-tier access control.
  • Built the typed chat widgets the model renders, and promptfoo evals that catch hallucinations.
  • Set up Datadog for the beta, then used it to analyze and optimize the assistant’s AI usage.
DevOps Engineer, Watchtower (jw.org)
Mar 2025 – Feb 2026
  • 90-person DevOps org supporting 1,000+ engineers. Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform on AWS and Azure.
  • Ran GitLab CI/CD pipelines for build, test, and promotion through dev, staging, and prod.
Founder & Lead Engineer, Belayer Dev (belayer.dev)
Jan 2025 – Present
  • Software studio I founded. It runs BenchScout and Bricklane, an invoicing app.
  • Built the sales app field reps use at the largest private commercial window cleaning company in the U.S.
  • Made hundreds of thousands of their records AI-ready, with indexing and custom tooling AI agents can query.
  • I ship solo, from architecture to release. Project details and case studies at belayer.dev.
Projects
BenchScout · benchscout.com
2024 – Present
  • Live scores, play-by-play, odds, and standings for MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL, and college football.
  • Web app in Next.js and TypeScript. iOS app in SwiftUI with home screen widgets and Live Activities.
Statball · statball.net
2026
  • Predicts every MLB game with a gradient-boosted Python model trained on decades of Retrosheet data.
  • Backtested on about 170,000 past games. It beats a plain Elo rating, but the betting market is still sharper.
  • Posts daily picks with a public record (55.4% in 2026) and bets small on Kalshi when the edge covers fees.
