Experience
- Own SOX-compliance IRDR (Inventory Discrepancy Research Report) workflows — hand-researched 1,000+ inventory mismatches and built the data systems that support Sarbanes-Oxley audit requirements.
- Built ICQA SQL and Excel reporting for inventory accuracy, discrepancy review, and defect visibility; surfaced findings in dashboards and recurring leadership reports.
- Authored an Anthropic-powered SQL copilot that contextually references every available data table for analysts.
- Built and shipped an autonomous root-cause-analysis bot that performs full end-to-end inventory research.
- Supported launch-stage ARS robotics and conveyance operations, monitoring automation flow, floor conditions, and equipment behavior.
- Assisted troubleshooting across robotics, uptime, safety, and electro-mechanical issues in a high-change launch environment.
- Consistently ranked among top performers in the district — hit and exceeded monthly quotas across smartphones, plans, accessories, device protection, financing, and Verizon Visa card offers.
- Promoted to Assistant Manager; mentored and coached a team of 4–8 reps through weekly 1-on-1s, floor coaching, and monthly skill workshops covering objection handling, upselling, and customer retention.
- Led store opens/closes, managed inventory, resolved escalated customer issues, and ran daily huddles to align the team on promos and targets.
- Built genuine rapport with customers — turned walk-ins into multi-line accounts and walk-outs into long-term brand advocates through consultative, needs-first selling.
- Built and operate the Hobo Network — 14 live services including HoboStreamer (live streaming + restream), HoboQuest (browser MMORPG + pixel canvas), HoboMaps (survival resource map), and 200+ tools across hobo.tools subdomains.
- Developed HoboStreamer from scratch: WebRTC/HLS ingest, multi-destination RTMP restream, clips, auto-recorded VODs, real-time chat, voice channels, moderation, stream analytics, and paste/file sharing. Fully open source on GitHub.
- Built HoboQuest browser MMORPG: server-authoritative tick loop, 7 skill systems, open-world PvP, dungeons, base building, daily quests, collaborative pixel canvas, and live leaderboards. Integrated directly into HoboStreamer for viewer gameplay during broadcasts.
- Built analytics-focused web platforms tracking 200,000+ live game servers using JavaScript, Node.js, PHP, Python, SQL, MongoDB, Redis, HTML, and CSS.
- Designed ingestion, search, dashboards, Linux infrastructure, scaling, DDoS resilience, support workflows, and business reporting.
- Self-built and collocated 1U / 2U servers in datacenters; ran the entire LLC including licenses, taxes, and partner relations.
- Built multiplayer game systems, monetized in-game economies, and digital products sold through ScriptFodder/GModStore.
- Created graphics, support docs, e-commerce listings, moderation workflows, and ran online communities at scale.
