About Me

The Automation Alchemist: Full-Stack Problem Solver

I’m the person who looks at a repetitive task and sees a Python script just begging to be written. This site isn’t just a blog; it’s my digital workshop—a place where code breaks, lessons are learned, and repetitive corporate headaches are engineered into robust, automated workflows.

I thrive at the intersection of performance and practicality. My professional goal is simple: to make the digital infrastructure I touch faster, leaner, and self-sufficient. If you’re looking for someone who can not only write clean code but also debug why the CSS is breaking only on Tuesdays, let’s talk.

The Philosophy: Why We Build, Not Just Buy

My work is driven by a single belief: efficiency is the highest form of elegance. I treat every project as a forensic investigation into dependencies and latency, constantly pushing systems to perform at their peak.

The Core Mission: Resilience Engineering

I specialize in building systems that resist obsolescence. The digital world is full of “model drift” and shifting APIs, where a working script can die overnight. My focus is on resilience engineering: creating middleware and automation layers that anticipate and gracefully handle external failures, ensuring continuity even when third-party services—or even developer documentation—let us down.

The Value Proposition: Zero Tolerance for Bloat

I operate with a zero-tolerance policy for bloat, prioritizing content over flash. This dedication to minimalism has resulted in sites consistently hitting near-perfect 100% scores on Google PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix, often on shoestring budgets and shared hosting environments. It just goes to show what you can do with a little backend knowledge. The goal isn’t just to make it work; it’s to make it perform flawlessly and scale without fighting the user or the server.

The Technical Toolkit: My Primary Stack

My stack is chosen for maximum agility and technical depth, reflecting a capability to operate across the entire application lifecycle, from infrastructure to interface.

Languages and Environments (The Geek Credentials)

My primary professional tools are the gold standards for modern web and automation development:

  • Backend & Logic: Python (Core Automation, Gemini API integration, Data Processing).
  • Web & Interface: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Vanilla JS/Tailwind for lean frontends, Streamlit for internal GUIs).
  • OS & Environment: Linux (Crostini/VMs), ensuring code stability and performance isolation.
  • Data & Storage: Firestore (for scalable, real-time database solutions).

Strategic Capabilities (The Business Funnel & Support)

My expertise extends beyond the code and into the data that drives business decisions. I enjoy the challenge of SEO optimization and the precision of paid media. This includes:

  • Tier 2 Systems & Customer Experience: Experience operating under pressure in Tier 2 environments (Sprint/Embarq, Verizon, AT&T, Asurion), specializing in root cause analysis, complex system troubleshooting, and navigating frustrating customer journeys (e.g., billing, device protection). This informs my automation focus on eliminating customer support pain points.
  • Google Analytics: Analyzing user behavior, optimizing conversions, and tying technical performance (LCP/TBT) back to business metrics.
  • Google Ads: Managing campaigns and optimizing landing page performance to reduce CPA and maximize Quality Score—understanding that a faster page directly lowers advertising costs.
  • SEO & Core Web Vitals: Ensuring all code and architecture decisions are rooted in long-term search engine sustainability and compliance.

Case Studies: Proof of Concept and Orchestration

Here are examples of problems I’ve solved, demonstrating skills in API management, automation, and full-stack orchestration.

Project 1: API Resilience and Discovery

Skill Demonstrated: API Management, System Robustness. I designed a Python script to dynamically query the Gemini API’s live model catalog. This project ensures our production applications never fail due to silently deprecated model names (the “404 Model Not Found” error). This is key to building systems that are resilient to external API churn and require minimal maintenance.

Project 2: Ethical Content Generation & Theme Visualization

Skill Demonstrated: Ethical Automation, High-Fidelity API Integration. This project involved creating an end-to-end Python pipeline for automated, human-sounding content creation and mass-upload. Due to ethical concerns about adding to AI noise, the public-facing feature was decommissioned. However, the workflow was successfully repurposed for a high-value internal task: quickly generating realistic content on local WordPress development builds. This solves the “blank theme” problem, allowing for rapid and accurate theme and layout visualization—demonstrating how automation can solve developer challenges and make people’s jobs easier.

Let’s Connect and Build

I am actively seeking roles that demand a blend of architectural thinking, low-latency performance tuning, and creative problem-solving across the full stack. I love building automated solutions that simplify workflows, especially if they incorporate AI. If you are building resilient automation tools, optimizing complex data pipelines, or striving for that perfect Core Web Vitals score, I’m ready to contribute immediately.
