What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in software engineering and AI to create impactful solutions.

As a Senior Software Engineer with over 12 years of experience, I have a proven track record of driving impactful projects in both startup and enterprise environments. My journey began at Robinhood, where I was an early team member, contributing to the development of core backend trading infrastructure that enabled secure, real-time execution of trades for millions of users. I played a pivotal role in launching innovative features that significantly enhanced user engagement and growth.

Currently, I am at Nextiva, where I design scalable Telehealth solutions that improve healthcare communication. My work includes developing AI-driven appointment scheduling systems and real-time analytics dashboards, which have led to measurable improvements in patient engagement and operational efficiency. I thrive in collaborative environments, mentoring junior developers and ensuring that our software aligns with user needs while maintaining high standards of quality and performance.
