What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic organization that values innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills to drive impactful projects and contribute to team success.

I am a self-motivated, cross-functional software engineer with extensive experience in developing scalable and reliable software solutions. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Recording Arts, which laid the foundation for my technical skills. Over the years, I have honed my expertise in various programming languages and frameworks, including C#, F#, and TypeScript, while working with leading companies in the SaaS and healthcare sectors.

In my most recent role as a Senior Software Engineer at Henry Meds, I successfully implemented shared services and improved incident response times through effective logging and monitoring. My tenure at Olo allowed me to enhance platform stability and user experience by migrating functionalities to dedicated APIs and databases. I take pride in mentoring fellow engineers and presenting team accomplishments to stakeholders, fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.
