About

Full-Stack
Builder &
Systems Architect

I architect and ship full production systems by wiring the right tools together — Cloudflare Workers, Firebase, Stripe, CourtReserve, Eagle Eye, and Resend — into infrastructure that runs live every day at LevelUp Pickleball. API integration, webhook orchestration, payments, automated email, and real-time data are my core work.

That sits on top of a decade of creative production: motion graphics, 3D architectural renders, video, and live LED board systems. As Director of Video, Design & Animation at LevelUp, I own the whole pipeline — concept, build, deploy, and maintain.

Earlier I supported the Pittsburgh Penguins through Daktronics Show Control across every screen format in the arena, and operated Zoom Media's proprietary CMS across venue networks.

I'm looking for a full-stack or systems role — remote or hybrid — where building, integrating, and shipping working products is the job.

Live System

16-Court LED Board System

Built 16 live LED boards that pull real-time court booking data from CourtReserve's API via a custom Cloudflare Worker. Color-coded skill levels, countdown timers, and "up next" data — all driven by HTML I wrote from scratch, served via GitHub Pages.

Multi-Format Design

Aspect Ratios & Screen Formats

From the Penguins' halo ribbon boards to 800×1400 gym displays to 400×800 LED boards at LevelUp — I design and adapt motion graphics across any screen size or aspect ratio. I know ProRes vs MP4 tradeoffs, export optimization, and how to monitor CPU/player performance for smooth playback across different media systems.

Content Management Systems

CMS & Broadcast Systems

Worked with Daktronics Show Control while supporting the Pittsburgh Penguins, managing content across fascias, halos, and puck boards arena-wide. At LevelUp, I use ViPlex Express and VNNOX to schedule and publish content to all 16 NovaStar LED boards. At Zoom Media, I operated their proprietary CMS across venue networks.

Live System

16-Screen Sync Ad Player

Built a clock-synced HTML ad rotation system running across all 16 NovaStar LED boards simultaneously. Content switches in perfect sync with zero drift — ads are managed via a JSON manifest on GitHub Pages, with each 10-second slot monetizable. No proprietary software needed.

Automation

Auto Birthday Mailer

Automated system that pulls member birthday data from CourtReserve's API daily and sends personalized birthday emails via Resend. Fully hands-off — runs on a Cloudflare Worker cron trigger with zero manual input required.

Golf Simulator Booking System

End-to-end booking platform for LevelUp's golf simulator bays. Customers pick a time slot from a live availability grid, pay via Stripe Checkout, and receive a confirmation email — all automated. Built entirely on Cloudflare Workers with CourtReserve court blocking, Stripe webhook processing, promo code support, and holiday closure logic calculated algorithmically.
