I’m a Senior Software Engineer with full-stack experience across Python and JavaScript, working across the product and Developer Experience space. At IQGeo, I took ownership of authentication (Keycloak) and independently upgraded it from version 20 to version 26. I also improved performance in a custom VSCode extension by identifying a slow directory and reducing search time from 8 minutes to under 3 seconds for a team of 10 developers.

Previously at Myridius, I served as technical lead on multiple projects, guiding 1–3 developers, participating in code reviews, and making technical decisions. I built a Vue.js/JavaScript frontend with a PHP/Laravel backend (LAMP stack) for a client-facing insurance coverage and administration portal. I also migrated a Java monolith to Go microservices using MongoDB, Protobuf, and Kafka, defining API endpoints and data models by reverse-engineering existing business logic.

I’ve focused on reliability, maintainability, and faster iteration through automation and better tooling. I built serverless ETL via Infrastructure as Code (AWS SAM) integrating up to 4 enterprise systems, implemented CI/CD with AWS Code Pipeline, Code Build, and Code Deploy, and built a Python/Neo4j knowledge graph backend with API endpoints for semantic search and aggregation. I’ve also designed a custom cross-repo Go logging framework (including PII obfuscation) and standardized environments with Docker to resolve local compatibility issues.
