I am a developer who bridges the gap between complex financial compliance and modern web technology. With a background as a PTIN-registered tax professional, I bring a "Security-First" mindset to software development, specializing in the handling of sensitive PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and secure data management.
Cloud & Infrastructure
Frontend & Frameworks
Backend & Data Management
I am currently transitioning from traditional web stacks into Scalable Infrastructure and DevSecOpsevolving my stack toward High-Assurance Systems and DevSecOps:
- Behavioral Biometrics: Implementing Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithms to verify user identity via touch velocity and pressure signals.
- Phishing Resistance: Hardening applications using the WebAuthn standard to move beyond passwords and into hardware-backed security.
- Zero Trust Architectures: Building systems that "Never Trust, Always Verify" through environmental attestation and virtual-camera detection.
- Cloud-Native Security: Orchestrating secure, containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes to ensure data integrity from dev to prod.
- Containerization: Mastering Docker workflows for consistent dev-to-prod environments and custom Dockerfile optimization.
- Orchestration: Exploring cluster management and service scaling with Kubernetes.
- Linux Systems: Deep-diving into CLI-based server management, WSL 2 environments, and bash automation.
- Cloud Security: Implementing serverless SQL architectures with high-level encryption and managed identities.
| Project | Stack | Key Focus |
|---|---|---|
| PII-Guard Middleware | TypeScript / Node.js / Docker | Data Privacy: A security-first redaction engine that prevents PII/Secrets from leaking into logging pipelines and structured payloads. |
| Vault-Azure-ServerlessSQL | Azure / Python / SQL | Security-First Engine: A cloud-native compliance engine designed to manage sensitive records using serverless architecture. |
| my-first-docker-app | Docker / Nginx / WSL2 | Containerization: A full containerized workflow demonstrating Dockerfile creation and automated Nginx deployment. |
| Employee Tracker SQL | Node.js / PostgreSQL | Data Architecture: A CLI tool designed for complex organizational mapping using relational database joins. |
| Social Network API | NoSQL / MongoDB | Scalable Backend: Robust API architecture for handling high-volume user data and reactions. |
- PII Integrity: My background as a tax professional means data privacy isn't a feature—it's a fundamental right.
- Defense in Depth: I believe in multi-layered security: Hardware (FIDO2), Behavioral (Gestures), and Environmental (Anti-Injection).
- Data Integrity: My experience with tax preparation means I never take data privacy for granted.
- Infrastructure as Trust: I believe secure code is only as strong as the environment it runs in; hence my focus on Linux and Docker security.
- Empathy in Design: Being a caregiver makes me a better developer—I build with accessibility and user safety in mind.
- Problem Solver: From DIY home projects to debugging complex SQL joins, I thrive on fixing things and making them grow.
System Architecture & Logic
- Regex Tutorial: Documentation on pattern matching for secure data validation.
- SVG Logo Maker: OOP application for generating scalable vector assets via CLI.
- E-Commerce BackEnd: Secure server-side logic using Sequelize ORM.
