1. Founder & Full-Stack Developer

   ROC Web Tech (independent practice)

   2026 – Present · Rochester, NY

   • Founded and run ROC Web Tech, shipping production Next.js sites for clients — delivered three live customer sites in under two months (a members-only cigar lounge, a commercial garage-door company, and a business advisory firm). Owned each engagement end to end: requirements gathering, weekly client check-ins, scope negotiation, build, and post-launch iteration.
   • Built My Place Cigar Lounge — an authenticated members platform: Auth.js sign-in with three-tier RBAC (owner/admin/member) enforced at the Supabase Postgres row-level-security layer and in Next.js middleware, member + admin dashboards, Stripe, event RSVPs, and invite flows. Covered by Vitest, Playwright, and Supabase RLS policy tests.
   • Shipped a RAG-grounded, niche-aware chatbot (Vercel AI SDK + Cloudflare Workers AI, GPT-4o-mini) live on rocautobody.com — per-niche system prompt, a custom knowledge base, 80 few-shot pairs, and a 55-case eval suite covering answer accuracy, refusal behavior, and citation quality to gate prompt changes before deploy.
   • Built and operate a 10-site Rochester directory network — aggregating 350+ business listings via the Google Places and Yelp APIs into a normalized LocalBusiness schema, cached at build for zero-runtime API calls, with automated IndexNow + Google Indexing submissions.
   • Built a multi-site deployment system: a monorepo with per-site GitHub repos, Vercel preview/production deploy gates, nightly SEO monitoring, and tiered AI orchestration (local models for bulk work, hosted models for judgment) — cutting new-site setup from days to hours.
   • Hold every site to 95+ Lighthouse across Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO, with JSON-LD structured data and WCAG accessibility on each route.

Earlier: Mathematics Tutor, Santa Barbara City College (2019) · Intern, World Dance for Humanity (2018–2019) — built website content and reporting tools; field work in Rwanda.
