What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and professional growth.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Central Florida. My professional journey began as an intern, where I honed my coding skills under the Agile software engineering paradigm. I quickly progressed to a full-time role at Dignitas Technologies, where I made significant contributions, including reducing processing times and leading collaborative projects with external engineers.

Currently, I work at Google as an L3 Software Engineer, where I design and implement scalable micro-services on the Google Cloud Platform for high-profile products like YouTube and Photos. My role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to innovate and maintain infrastructure features that enhance data durability while optimizing storage requirements. I take pride in my ability to integrate services with internal platforms and mentor potential candidates through technical interviews.
