Experience

Where I've worked

1. Software Developer

   Paragon Component Systems · Remote

   Aug 2024 – Oct 2026

   Owned the Layout drawing-output system: 28 pull requests over 14 consecutive months delivering DXF and PDF exports with layering, bearing hatching and dimensions, per-level and shared-set downloads, and DXF and PDF underlay import. Modernized parsers for three industry truss formats (TRE, tdlTruss, DDP) and built the internal Blazor analysis-testing and NVR console apps used to validate engineering results. Merged 42 pull requests in 2026 alone, 4.3% of everything shipped to the platform that year.

2. Team Lead

   Paragon Component Systems · Remote

   Apr 2024 – Aug 2024

   Prioritized and estimated hundreds of user stories and coordinated a team of four to ship high-priority work ahead of a product launch, while personally merging 13 pull requests in April alone. Built a new approach to story prediction that other team leads adopted on their own.

3. Software Developer

   Paragon Component Systems · Remote

   Feb 2023 – Apr 2024

   Built the platform's IFC (BIM) import and export pipeline from scratch in .NET and C#: Revit-generated model import, truss and plate export, and contiguous roof solids reconstructed from the polyhedra in IFC files, backed by a 2.5 million-line regression-fixture suite. The five core pull requests drew more than 300 review threads. Also overhauled PostgreSQL schema creation and migrations and rewrote the Design client's user-facing error messages.

4. Intern Software Developer

   Paragon Component Systems · Remote

   Nov 2022 – Feb 2023

   Implemented IFC file parsing in .NET and C#. The first pull request, opened six weeks in, went through 57 reviews and became the foundation of the import pipeline. Worked through pull-request review to meet company standards for reliability and efficiency.

5. Junior Account Manager

   ABC Consultants Group · Atlanta, GA

   Sep 2022 – Oct 2022

   Learned and applied effective sales tactics, finishing in the top quartile.

6. Manager

   Chick-fil-A · Albany, GA

   Nov 2021 – Jun 2022

   Automated the daily sales report with Python and AWS, saving over $1,000 a year in labor; raised order accuracy from 94% to 97%; placed over $100,000 in daily supply orders.

7. Team Member to Assistant Manager

   Chick-fil-A · Albany, GA

   Aug 2020 – Nov 2021

   Coached team members and grew new leaders, lifting evening order accuracy from 94% to 100% and courtesy scores from 74% to 82%.
