Full-stack engineer and TreatTrakr founder who unified NIH RxNorm and FDA OpenFDA data into a 14,600+ medication knowledge base.
What I'm looking for
At TreatTrakr, I used Claude Code to create an ETL pipeline unifying NIH RxNorm and FDA OpenFDA data into a knowledge base of 14,600+ medications across 21 categories. It includes RxCUI-keyed entity resolution and a drug interaction graph with 1,100+ drugs.
I used Claude Code and Cursor to build and ship the full TreatTrakr platform solo in six weeks.
At Charter Spectrum, I co-architected the workspace and module structure for an Angular 20/21 customer-facing platform serving 100K+ users. I implemented its NgRx store architecture and raised unit test coverage to 80%+.
At City & County of Denver TS, I delivered 20+ Angular applications for 100K+ users, built four shared utility libraries, and developed 30+ reusable component library entries. Earlier, at 5Searches / Santé Nou, I co-developed a Docker-deployed reporting engine and analytics dashboard for a hospital network with over 100 providers.
