Software developer building production systems and automation across .NET, Python, TypeScript, and Azure—delivering AI and OCR pipelines.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a software developer with 2.5+ years of experience building production systems across .NET, Python, TypeScript, and Azure. At CFM Materials, I shipped enterprise automation and AI/OCR pipelines that materially improved daily workflows.
I engineered an automated document management system using Python, OpenCV, and PyTesseract, reducing document processing time by 80%. I also developed a digital forklift checklist app with a RESTful .NET MAUI/MVVM backend, built an Azure AI-powered chat-bot to translate proprietary terminology, and modernized ERP label printing from COM to USB—improving reliability and reducing manual errors by 60%.
Before that, as a founding engineer intern at LinedanceAI, I helped drive system architecture and UX and built a WPF/C# desktop application from scratch with reusable components and custom data visualizations. I continue to build full-stack and mobile products—designing an operator CRM and marketing site in Next.js, and creating an iPad POS in Swift/SwiftUI with reliable printing and background monitoring.
