I'm a software engineer building at the intersection of AI tooling, protocol engineering, and e-commerce. After nearly a decade at eBay working on large-scale mobile web systems, I went independent in 2025 to focus on the MCP ecosystem, production AI services, and developer tooling. My current work spans MCP server implementation, Claude Code plugin development, and full-stack e-commerce platforms — all built through AI-paired development with Claude Code as my primary tool.
