For recruiters & hiring managers

Solutions Engineer who can own the messy middle.

Field service engineer turned software builder. I have been the person on the customer site when the system had to work; now I build the tools around that same motion: full-stack apps, browser automation, API integrations, and human-in-the-loop LLM workflows.

What to verify first

  • Target rolesSolutions Engineer, Implementation Engineer, Customer Engineer, and technical support roles where customer reality meets product truth.
  • Strongest proofJobPilot: a public, human-in-the-loop Python pipeline for ATS sourcing, fit scoring, tailored materials, local state, and honest automation boundaries. This site: a live Next.js research system with generated data, source provenance, and verified route/UI passes.
  • Customer-site proofField service engineer for enterprise hardware deployments across the US, Canada, the UK, and the EU; BMS integration, commissioning, demos, live-site service calls.
  • Build stackPython, TypeScript, Next.js, React, Playwright/CDP, SQLite, API integrations, browser automation, and human-in-the-loop LLM tooling.

Why it translates

I have lived the handoff

The field-service years were customer site, trade coordination, commissioning, service calls, and demos under live deadline pressure.

I keep automation honest

JobPilot automates sourcing, scoring, and drafting, but keeps human review before submission as a design boundary.

I can show the work

The proof is public where possible: case studies, live demos, and source links instead of inflated metrics.

Proof

JobPilotopen source

An ATS-first application copilot that keeps a human in the loop. Scans Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby postings, scores role fit, drafts tailored resume and answer packs from verified accounts, and tracks the queue — while a person reviews every submission.

  • 2016 — 2020Field Service EngineerEnterprise smart-glass. First on-site contact for enterprise smart-glass commissioning across the US, Canada, the UK, and the EU. Laptop and multimeter both — while coordinating glaziers, electricians, GCs, building managers, and the paying customer to the same hard deadline. After handoff: service calls on live sites and product demos for the sales team.
  • 2008 — 2009Customer Service EngineerDigital cinema. Field engineer through the cinema industry's switch from 35mm film to digital — commissioning, maintenance, 24/7/365 on-call. The only face the customer (and the union projectionist the tech was phasing out) ever saw. Left for the post-9/11 GI Bill and Columbia.
  • 2003 — 2008Electronics TechnicianU.S. Navy. Where the troubleshooting discipline started — make the things that have to work, work.
