What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

As a Senior Software Engineer with over 9 years of hands-on experience, I specialize in Ruby on Rails development, AI integration, and full-stack engineering. My journey has been marked by a proven track record of delivering scalable web applications and enhancing system performance through efficient database modeling and cloud deployments. I am passionate about creating user-centric solutions and driving innovation through emerging technologies.

At Snapsheet, I led the development of automation workflows using N8N and integrated Claude 3 LLM into Ruby on Rails applications, significantly streamlining data mapping and reducing manual setup time. My commitment to test-driven development has resulted in a 38% reduction in regression bugs, ensuring scalable code across microservices. I thrive in collaborative environments, aligning application logic with product goals while contributing to technical documentation and peer reviews.

Throughout my career, I have developed internal tools and dashboards, integrated third-party APIs, and migrated legacy codebases to modern tech stacks. My experience spans various roles, from developing responsive front-end components to implementing robust backend services. I am dedicated to continuous learning and improving engineering practices, always striving to enhance user experiences and operational efficiencies.
