About

Operator, founder, builder.

I lead warehouse operations by day and build software companies around the problems I see there.

I'm a results-driven warehouse manager with 7+ years of hands-on experience leading warehouse operations, supervising teams and optimizing 3PL logistics in fast-paced environments.

I've built and managed high-performing teams, put KPI frameworks in place, reduced workplace incidents by 20%, and streamlined inventory and billing operations in ways the business could measure.

I'm also the founder of Smartclocksystems, a workforce and payroll platform, and Fade & Beyond, a marketplace for barbers and stylists. I specialize in scaling operations and using workforce technology to drive efficiency.

I believe AI doesn't replace developers. Developers who use AI will replace developers who don't.

What I bring to the table

  • WMS/ERP expertise: SAP, Oracle, 3PL WMS, Infor WMS, Extensiv
  • Inbound/outbound operations & shipping accuracy
  • Team hiring, training & performance management
  • Inventory control, cycle counts & reconciliation
  • OSHA compliance & building a safety culture
  • Forklift certified: sit-down, reach, cherry picker, clamp

On the floor

At Aeronet Worldwide I direct and schedule warehouse staff, own inbound/outbound transportation, quote warehouse rates and run inventory reconciliation, with safety first.

Smartclocksystems

I lead product, architecture and strategy for a time tracking, scheduling and payroll platform, built solo with React, TypeScript and Supabase.

Fade & Beyond

I built a marketplace where clients book barbers and stylists, and shops run their staff, queues and product sales.

The story

Never give up. I never will.

"Wherever my career takes me, I will always bring my coding skills along, not just because it's my job, but because I genuinely love it."

Coding after long shifts

I learned front-end development before and after full warehouse workdays. I had bills to pay and a family to support as the breadwinner.

Graduated with a 3.83 GPA

I balanced work, study and family, nearly quit halfway, and finished my Computer Software Engineering degree at the University of Phoenix anyway.

200+ applications

A tough first interview nearly made me give up. Instead I made coding tutorials to help others learn, and kept applying. I built a church website with React, Next.js, Tailwind and MongoDB along the way.

Landed an AI coding role

I applied one more time and got the interview the next day. That became a contract role training AI models at Outlier.

Leading on every front

I'm Operational Warehouse Manager at Aeronet Worldwide, and I'm still building Smartclocksystems and Fade & Beyond, using AI to make them stronger.
