Experience

Christian Care Ministry — Senior Full Stack Developer, Remote

  • Helped spearhead PrayerStream v2 rebuild: led API infrastructure and front-end implementation on the Stream platform, migrated 11k+ existing members, zero production issues since April launch.
  • Owned front-end implementation of Provider Search results cards and the application-wide footer — the central components of the member search experience.
  • Architected shared BFF consolidating MCRA, PrayerStream v2, and Provider Search into a single service, eliminating three parallel implementations.
  • Personally authored the team’s Cursor “Coding Conventions” rule guiding AI-assisted development across the engineering team, and a “Phased MR” skill that breaks ticket implementation into planned, reviewable phases so engineers stay close to AI-generated code and catch scope drift before it compounds.
  • Contributed to team-developed skills for ticket refinement (verifying against Acceptance Criteria and Gherkin Specs) and UI code review.
  • Onboarded and mentored teammates, including ramping them on the team’s AI-assisted development practices; consistent contributor to planning, refinement, and pair programming.
