The AI-Augmented Engineer

I started as a PHP purist, building everything from microsites to massive enterprise monoliths. Over the last decade, I've mastered the "hard way" of software engineering.

Now, I'm redefining what it means to be a developer. I don't just write code; I orchestrate AI agents to handle the grind, allowing me to focus on high-level architecture and creative problem-solving. I am the AI-Augmented Engineer.

The Progression

2025 - Present

The Agentic Era

Principal Software Engineer @ Deltek

Moved beyond traditional coding. Now leveraging Claude Code and AI agents to automate the "daily pains" of development—parallel bug fixing, refactoring, and testing—turning friction into flow.

Senior Software Engineer @ Deltek

Learned the discipline of the Monolith. Focused on stability, sustaining engineering, and navigating complex legacy codebases (Yii/PHP) for global enterprise clients.

The "Builder" phase. Architected real-time Game APIs and full-stack SaaS platforms (Laravel/Vue) from the ground up. Owned the entire stack, from database to deployment.

The Foundation

Web Dev @ Mobext & AMX @ EVI

Cut my teeth on high-volume microsites and brand webapps (McDonald's, Krispy Kreme). Mastered the basics of PHP (CodeIgniter) and hardware automation.
