What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth.

I'm a versatile and quality-driven Full Stack Software Engineer with over 9 years of experience in designing, building, and maintaining scalable web applications. My specialization in Ruby on Rails and modern JavaScript frameworks, combined with strong expertise in integrating AI-powered automation, allows me to optimize full-stack performance effectively. I have a collaborative mindset and a solid testing discipline, which drives my passion for building tools that enhance user experience and operational efficiency.

In my recent role at Dumbstruck, Inc., I successfully integrated Claude 3 LLM into Rails-based automation flows, significantly reducing configuration time. My focus on improving database performance and logic efficiency has led to substantial enhancements in application reliability. I thrive in environments that foster collaboration, and I enjoy aligning features with business needs while promoting best practices in development and testing.
