What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, allowing me to leverage my skills in AI-driven development and quality engineering while contributing to impactful projects.

I am an innovative and AI-driven software engineer with over 8 years of experience in full-stack development and quality engineering. My expertise lies in leveraging advanced AI tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT to enhance development processes, improve testing efficiency, and ensure code accuracy. I have a proven track record of designing scalable systems, automating testing pipelines, and mentoring cross-functional teams to achieve high-quality results.

In my current role as a Senior Software Engineer at First American, I have successfully developed full-stack features using React, Node.js, and GraphQL, while integrating robust testing frameworks like Cypress and Playwright. My efforts in architecting scalable microservices and enhancing CI/CD pipelines have led to significant performance improvements, including a 30% reduction in latency. I am passionate about mentoring junior developers and leading AI-assisted code reviews to foster a culture of continuous improvement.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, including NCR Corporation and InMotionNow, where I automated QA flows and scaled testing suites to ensure reliability and efficiency. My commitment to quality and innovation drives me to explore new technologies and methodologies, making me a valuable asset to any team.
