1.1 Who?

I am a Senior Systems Architect and Developer with over 15 years of experience engineering and administering large-scale NetSuite ERP ecosystems and high-traffic e-commerce platforms — dedicated to high-performance architecture and strict programming standards, while implementing modern, fault-tolerant system automation to solve complex business bottlenecks.

I currently serve as Lead Systems Architect & Senior Developer for EastWest Sounds / Soundsonline.com. Operating out of the historic United Western Recorders in Hollywood, CA, I manage the technical backbone for one of the world’s leading virtual instrument developers — bridging enterprise ERP infrastructure with high-traffic e-commerce platforms across global markets.

1.2 What?

I specialize in engineering high-performance NetSuite integrations and custom SuiteScript solutions built for long-term scalability. My development philosophy centers on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and clean, modular architecture—the standard that differentiates enterprise-level systems from temporary fixes.

In an era where data efficiency is paramount, I prioritize eliminating redundancy and optimizing system performance for the modern mobile-first landscape. By leveraging structured JSON/REST architectures and hand-coded, responsive front-ends, I ensure that every integration is robust, cross-browser compatible, and ready to serve as a high-velocity 'Source of Truth' for your business operations.

1.3 WHERE?

I am currently based in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, providing expert NetSuite architecture and systems engineering to clients nationwide. For over 15 years, I have served as the full-time Senior Developer and Administrator for EastWest Sounds, a premier software company and recording studio based in Hollywood, California.

Leveraging modern remote-collaboration frameworks, I manage mission-critical California-based infrastructure from my home office. Whether you are looking for a local partner in Western PA or a remote architect to lead a national integration, I provide the senior-level reliability required for enterprise-scale success.

1.4 NetSuite Work.

E-Commerce Platform ↔ NetSuite ERP: Real-Time Integration

Global virtual instrument developer — high-traffic direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform

A high-traffic PHP/MySQL storefront operated completely disconnected from the NetSuite ERP. Every order required manual entry, inventory drift compounded with every sale, and the gap between systems created reconciliation overhead that scaled poorly against high-volume product launches.

Designed a dual-API architecture combining SuiteTalk SOAP via PHPToolkit for transactional writes with dedicated RESTlets for high-frequency reads — routing order creation, product catalog queries, and customer record management through their respective optimal API paths.
Built a CashSale/SalesOrder routing engine supporting six distinct transaction types — new purchases, upgrades, renewals, reactivations, additional licenses, and balance payments — each with full custom body field mappings and NetSuite record logic.
Unified three payment processors (credit card via PaymentCard records, PayPal one-time and recurring subscription, and Affirm installment payments) into a single order flow, with real-time digital license fulfillment triggered synchronously via RESTlet at point of purchase.

Outcome: Manual reconciliation eliminated entirely. Orders, customer records, and licenses all land in NetSuite in real time at the point of purchase — with zero human intervention required across any transaction type.

Legacy SuiteScript Migration & Governance Compliance

Long-tenured NetSuite implementation — business-critical script library approaching end-of-support

A production SuiteScript library built over more than a decade — spanning Scheduled Scripts, User Events, Client Scripts, and RESTlets — required a complete migration to SuiteScript 2.1 to maintain platform governance compliance and unlock modern API capabilities, without disrupting live financial and e-commerce workflows during transition.

Audited, refactored, and migrated the full script library to SuiteScript 2.1 using a modular AMD architecture — preserving all business logic while restructuring for long-term maintainability, testability, and NetSuite best-practice compliance.
Converted the highest-volume data processing scripts to Map/Reduce, leveraging NetSuite's distributed processing engine to handle large record sets reliably within governance limits — eliminating the timeout failures that had plagued the legacy implementations.
Replaced implicit, silent exception handling across the entire library with structured error catching, server-side logging, and automated email alerting — building the first auditable, observable error trail the implementation had ever had.

Outcome: Full SuiteScript 2.1 compliance achieved with zero production incidents during migration. Map/Reduce rewrites reduced execution time by over 60% on the largest data sets, and structured logging surfaced pre-existing silent failures that had gone undetected for years.

Subscription Lifecycle & Renewal Automation

High-volume direct-to-consumer software subscription platform — recurring billing across multiple plan types

Managing the full subscription lifecycle — renewals, reactivations, mid-cycle upgrades, and failed payment recovery — across a large active subscriber base created significant manual overhead and revenue leakage. Each plan type required distinct NetSuite record handling, and edge cases like expired payment methods and mid-cycle plan changes had no systematic resolution path.

Engineered an automated renewal engine handling multiple subscription classifications — standard renewals, reactivations, plan upgrades, and additional-license events — each routing to the correct CashSale or SalesOrder path with full custom field mapping in NetSuite.
Built a cart abandonment recovery pipeline using a scheduled cron job that tracked checkout funnel drop-offs, segmented abandonment causes, and triggered targeted email retargeting sequences — creating a net-new revenue recovery channel with zero ongoing manual effort.
Automated PayPal subscription profile management and Affirm installment handling within the renewal flow, with edge-case resolution for expired cards, failed authorizations, and mid-cycle plan changes — reducing manual intervention to exception-only review.

Outcome: Subscription lifecycle events that previously required manual intervention now process automatically at scale. The abandonment recovery pipeline recaptures revenue that had been lost silently, and the exception-only review model freed the operations team from routine renewal management entirely.
