Serial entrepreneur & ex-Amazon software engineering leader. I like building cool stuff and the teams behind it all. Founded WagerLab, built the initial product as CTO, and scaled it as CEO. Formerly in charge of the team that runs Amazon’s homepage. Double major in Computer Science and Business Honors at UT.At WagerLab I built and scaled a sports-tech startup from the ground up. I designed and wrote the software code which was a full-stack multi-platform NodeJS React Native app with a multi-cloud (AWS, Mongo, GCP) back-end, and a distributed AI-enhanced sports data engine (using Kafka among other things). I raised $1M in VC funding, partnered with enterprise brands, and served millions of requests.At Amazon, I helped launch a new AWS service, handled billions of global requests, developed a distributed machine learning system called Blackjack Cards, and architected a migration to Java Spring Boot.Before that, I was a co-founder and lead software developer for an event sponsorship startup called HapBack and previously worked at Brenham Capital.I’m also into:- Mentor to emerging software development engineers & startup founders- Building and deploying my own machine learning (ML) models. Lots of AI side projects.Some (but not all) of my favorite tech to work with:Languages: Javascript, Typescript, Java, Python, Ruby, Rust, CFrameworks: Node JS, Spring, React Native, React, Next JS, Ruby on Rails, Express JSCloud/Infra/DB: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Docker & Kubernetes, MongoDB, RedisML/AI: TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenAI#startups #software #engineering #leadership #devs #hiring #cto #vp #engineering #faang #sports #sportstech #sportsbetting #amazon #cloud #sde #sdm
