Problems I've taken on

Intuit · 2025

Testing a loan application took every engineer 5 to 10 minutes, several times a day.

Built a Chrome extension that fills the whole application automatically.

Result. About 5 seconds per test. Adopted daily by 25 to 30 engineers across the org.

QuickBooks Capital loans only existed inside QuickBooks.

Founding engineer on the embedded lending product that offers them through partners, starting with Amazon. React, TypeScript, Java, AWS, and a lot of cross-team API contracts.

Result. Phase 1 live for about 2,000 users. Phase 2 targets about 8,000 more outside QuickBooks, on the way to a projected 2 million.

About

I'm drawn to problems nobody owns yet. More than once I've been the first engineer on a new thing: a lending product that had to work outside the app it was born in, a migration nobody wanted to start, a notification system that had to be right the first time. I like finding the manual workaround people already use and turning it into something that takes five seconds.

I've spent the last few years on large React and Vue codebases, real-time systems, and the seams between teams and services. Frontend is where I'm strongest, and I care about the whole problem, from the API contract to how the screen feels. On the side I ship my own products: an iOS party game and a build recommendation tool for Deadlock.

Away from the keyboard I'm usually playing soccer, playing games, or reading about the next thing I want to build.

How I work

Start with the workaround

The manual process people already run is the spec. Automate that first.

Measure before and after

If I can't say what changed in a number, I'm not done.

Write the runbook before the incident

New systems get alerts and a page of what to do on day one.

Use AI tools, own the result

Claude Code and Cursor are in my daily loop. The review and the outcome are still mine.
