About

I'm a software engineer at FinQuery in Atlanta, where I build full-stack financial applications in C#, .NET, and React. Most of my work sits where accounting rules meet software: turning accounting standards systems that calculate correctly.

I came to engineering sideways. I started at FinQuery in 2022 in customer support, resolving configuration issues for enterprise clients. That turned into more of a product role, where I was the subject-matter expert for lease accounting standards: ASC 842, IFRS 16, GASB 87 and 96. I translated these standards into technical specs and user stories.

Writing specs for others to implement was not where I wanted to end up though. I moved into quality automation, then into engineering. The path was a bit unconventional, but it left me with something I use constantly: I know what the numbers are supposed to do before I write the code that produces them.

What I work on

Most recently I shipped a greenfield financial application from initial setup through general availability: designing the backend, building the React frontend, and deploying it on AWS EKS. Inside it is an amortization engine I built to handle the variable inputs that real financial calculations require.

As mentioned, I spent a year in quality automation. I built internal C# and React tools that queried SQL Server to verify the accounting engine's output against the database. This removed a large amount of manual regression testing on financial calculations. I wrote Playwright and NUnit suites wired into Jenkins and GitHub Actions, set up blue/green deployments on EKS for zero-downtime releases, standardized Git branching across five product release pipelines, and mentored a junior engineer on automation frameworks and the accounting behind what we were testing.
