I'm a Principal Engineer and software architect with over 20 years of experience independently building and scaling enterprise platforms. Having founded RegistrationMax LLC, I architect mission-critical systems serving millions of users across government, nonprofit, and commercial sectors.
As Founder of RegistrationMax LLC since 2006, I've architected fully redundant AWS infrastructures, designed complex multi-tenant SaaS platforms, and built bulk-email systems capable of 2M+ monthly sends. My work is backed by extensive documented codebases and real production systems with verifiable scale.
I combine entrepreneurial accountability with deep technical execution, delivering complex projects on aggressive timelines while maintaining long-term platform stewardship across multiple high-scale production systems. The AI context system provides detailed insights into actual implementations and architectural decisions.
Each role includes queryable AI context—the real story behind the bullet points.
RegistrationMax LLC/LumaVerse
Charlotte, NC • November 2006 - Present
Co-founded RegistrationMax to solve event registration problems I saw in the 4-H and fair industry. Led all technical development from day one while my co-founder handled business operations.
Built everything myself initially—database design, backend APIs, frontend, DevOps. Gradually evolved architecture as scale demanded, always prioritizing reliability over fancy tech.
Designed multi-tenant SaaS architecture, implemented payment processing with Stripe, built bulk email systems, migrated to AWS with zero downtime, optimized for performance at scale.
Being a founder taught me to ship fast but think long-term. Every technical decision had business consequences. I learned to balance perfectionism with pragmatism.
