Collin builds and ships production software across full-stack web platforms, real-time communications, networked systems, and applied wireless research. At Sport Endorse, Collin architected and deployed a headless full-stack production platform serving more than 10,000 global athletes, brands, and agencies, while driving a 50% increase in leads through zero-downtime deployment practices, regional A/B testing, localized caching, technical SEO, and a 100% Google Lighthouse score. Collin has also independently owned customer-facing releases and translated customer feedback into production features. Previously, as a Software Engineer Intern at Rockliffe, described in an interview as RockLife Systems, Collin built WebRTC calling capabilities for Astrachat, also referred to as AstroChat, an XMPP business chat client. The work included STUN/TURN discovery, IPv4/IPv6/TCP ICE support, device switching, call recovery, SQLite-based local caching, automated testing, production logging, and XMPP reliability improvements. In the WIN Lab, Collin develops DDQN ISAC PyTorch simulations with NVIDIA Sionna digital-twin models and an ns-3 testbed, while researching PASS NOMA, RSMA, and semantic communication. Collin prefers a full-time, in-person work environment and values ownership and direct product and customer impact. ## Highlights - Architected and deployed a headless full-stack production platform at Sport Endorse using Next.js, WordPress CMS, Vercel, Turso, Figma, and AWS, serving 10,000+ global athletes, brands, and agencies. - Executed Blue/Green zero-downtime deployments at Sport Endorse and drove a 50% increase in leads through regional A/B testing, localized caching, and technical SEO. - Achieved a 100% Google Lighthouse score for Sport Endorse’s platform. - Led weekly sprint deliverables, structured pull-request reviews, and cross-functional feature planning for an Agile engineering team spanning the United States, Europe, Dubai, and South Africa. - Engineered WebRTC audio and video calling in Rockliffe’s Astrachat Electron XMPP desktop application. - Implemented dynamic STUN/TURN discovery, IPv4/IPv6/TCP ICE support, dynamic device switching, and call recovery for Astrachat calling. - Migrated Astrachat storage from LocalForage to a local SQLite cache with MAM history and cross-device synchronization for reactions, receipts, and roster states. - Developed responsive Vue.js chat components for Astrachat, including a dark theme, message bubbles, and dialogs. - Resolved XML stanza disconnects and optimized Tigase XMPP server SQL queries to strengthen network resilience. - Improved Sentry logging for production error tracking and built Vitest and Playwright automated test suites. - Built DDQN ISAC PyTorch simulations in Santa Clara University’s WIN Lab using NVIDIA Sionna digital-twin models and an ns-3 network testbed. - Researches PASS NOMA wireless systems, RSMA, and semantic communication with MATLAB and PyTorch. - Taught computer science at Lexington High School across software engineering, web development and design, HTTP protocols, cybersecurity, data structures and algorithms, coding applications, and graphic design. - Holds certification as a hockey referee with USA Hockey. ## Experience - **Peer Success Coach at Santa Clara University** (2026-09-01–present) - **Computer Networks Research Assistant at Santa Clara University - Wireless Intelligent Networks \(WIN\) Lab** (2025-11-01–present) — ▪ Built DDQN ISAC PyTorch simulations using NVIDIA Sionna digital twin models and an ns-3 network testbed. ▪ Researching PASS NOMA wireless systems, RSMA, semantic communication with MATLAB and Pytorch - **Software Engineer at Sport Endorse** (2025-08-01–present) — ▪ Architected and deployed a headless full-stack platform into production using Next.js, WordPress CMS, Vercel, Turso, Figma, and AWS, serving 10,000+ global athletes, brands, and agencies. ▪ Executed Blue/Green zero-downtime deployments and drove a 50% increase in leads with a 100% Google Lighthouse score via regional A/B testing, localized caching, and technical SEO. ▪ Collaborated across a multi-timezone Agile engineering team \(US, Europe, Dubai, South Africa\), leading weekly sprint deliverables, structured PR code reviews, and cross-functional feature planning. - **Software Engineer Intern at Rockliffe** (2026-06-01–2026-08-01) — ▪ Engineered WebRTC audio/video calling in Astrachat, an Electron XMPP based desktop application, implementing dynamic STUN/TURN discovery, multi-protocol ICE \(IPv4/v6/TCP\), dynamic device switching, and call recovery. ▪ Migrated storage from LocalForage to a local SQLite cache with MAM history and cross-device sync for reactions, receipts, and roster states. ▪ Developed responsive Vue.js chat UI components \(dark theme, message bubbles, dialogs\) ▪ Hardened network resilience by resolving XML stanza disconnects, optimizing Tigase XMPP server SQL queries, and building Vitest and Playwright test suites - **Software Engineer Intern at Sport Endorse** (2025-06-01–2025-08-01) - **Line Cook at The Bagel Bar** (2024-06-01–2024-09-01) - **Senior Crew Member at Crumbl Cookies** (2023-05-01–2023-09-01) - **Computer Science Teaching Assistant at Lexington High School** (2023-01-01–2023-05-01) — Taught computer science to students through a variety of coding languages and applications with foundations in software engineering, web development, web design, HTTP protocols, cybersecurity, data structures and algorithms, and graphic design. - **Crew Member at Five Guys Enterprises** (2022-05-01–2022-09-01) - **Summer Camp Counselor at Belmont Country Club** (2021-06-01–2021-10-01) - **COVID Safety Attendant at Lexington-Bedford Youth Hockey** (2020-09-01–2021-04-01) - **Certified Hockey Referee at USA Hockey** (2018-09-01–2023-04-01) ## Education - B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering, Minor in Artificial Intelligence — Santa Clara University (2023-01-01–2027-01-01) - Computer Science — CS50 (2024-01-01–2024-01-01) - High School Diploma — Lexington High School (2018-01-01–2023-01-01) - Bachelor of Science, Computer Engineering — Santa Clara University ## FAQ ### What does Collin do?
