Info

TWO STACKS, ONE ENGINEER

I'm Max. Full stack engineer in Little Rock. Writing code since I was 17.

At Dillard's I've been a full stack developer for over three years, working both sides of the house: COBOL, CICS, and DB2 on the mainframe; Java, the full Spring ecosystem, Grails, Gradle, and Angular on the web. I mentor other developers, take charge of projects, and when production breaks, I'm one of the people who fixes it.

Nights and weekends go to sport. Computer vision on game film, scouting platforms, machine learning on a hundred thousand player records. Not many engineers can debug a CICS abend in the morning and tune a detection model at night. That range is the point.

The Legacy Stack, day job

  • COBOL / CICS / JCLbatch + online
  • DB2 / SQL in QMFqueries, tuning, recovery
  • MongoDB / Compassdocument data
  • Java / Spring / Gradle / GrailsREST APIs, microservices
  • Angular / RxJS / TypeScriptinternal apps
  • Production supportCICS + batch incidents
  • Mentorshipjunior devs, mainframe to web

The Modern Stack, nights + weekends

  • AI integrationClaude API, OpenAI, tool use, streaming
  • Python / pandas / scikit-learnML pipelines
  • RF-DETR / OpenCVdetection + tracking
  • React / React Native / Expoweb + mobile
  • Node / Express / Postgres / SQLiteAPIs + data
  • Unity / C#3D replay + VR
