What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in software engineering and AI, within a collaborative and innovative team environment that values continuous learning and growth.

As a Senior Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience, I have a proven track record of developing scalable microservices and innovative solutions in the tech industry. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Florida, where I honed my skills in various programming languages and frameworks.

At IBM, I led the development of a telehealth platform that serves millions of users, focusing on creating a seamless user experience through dynamic front-end interfaces and robust back-end services. My expertise in AI integration has allowed me to enhance patient support systems, significantly reducing manual workloads. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful features that improve user engagement and operational efficiency.
