What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles where I can build reliable, scalable integrations and user-focused web products, collaborate cross-functionally, and take technical ownership to deliver measurable impact.

I am a lead software engineer with a B.S. in Computer Science from Tufts University and hands-on experience building production integrations, web applications, and prototypes. I focus on delivering reliable, scalable systems and user-centered web experiences, with practical experience across backend integrations and frontend stacks.

At Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas I designed, developed, and maintained numerous MuleSoft ESB and gateway applications, built Java-based acceptance tests with Cucumber, and supported internal teams to minimize downtime and improve API reliability. I led cross-functional collaboration with product, business, and clinical stakeholders to ensure solutions met technical and domain requirements.

I have built full-stack applications and prototypes using technologies such as React, Flask, SQL, PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and implemented security-conscious tooling for healthcare data. My projects include image compression in C, a 32-bit Universal Machine and Assembly RPN calculator, and an AES-256 encrypted instant messenger, demonstrating strong systems programming and applied cryptography skills.
