What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute full-stack engineering, scripting, automation, database improvement, and automated testing experience in a full-time engineering role.

At Avalon Tax, I was the first full-time engineering hire at an AI-focused tax-preparation startup, stabilizing the platform ahead of tax-season deadlines through Electron/React interfaces and Python backend services. I used AI-assisted development workflows to accelerate feature delivery, debugging, and refactoring.

Previously at 3M Health Information Systems, I built and maintained HCC Collaborate across Angular, Java, Kotlin, and PostgreSQL; redesigned databases to reduce query times; created automated end-to-end testing systems; and led an Angular 4-to-10 upgrade. Earlier at Ansys, I taught myself Python to automate mesh-testing analysis and reduce manual workload.
