What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my technical expertise in Ruby on Rails and full-stack development. I am eager to collaborate with innovative teams, drive technological advancements, and contribute to a company's growth while fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

As a seasoned Full Stack Engineer with over a decade of experience, I specialize in designing, developing, and deploying robust web applications using Ruby on Rails. My expertise spans both front-end and back-end technologies, database management, and cloud deployment, with a strong focus on leading teams and optimizing performance.

In my current role as a Senior Software Engineer at Accenture, I have successfully led the migration of legacy applications to modern Ruby on Rails versions, enhancing system reliability and reducing technical debt. I have also conceptualized and built RESTful APIs, optimized database queries, and implemented CI/CD pipelines to streamline software release cycles.

My professional journey includes developing mission-critical features for high-traffic applications at Nordstrom and creating end-to-end solutions at Molina Healthcare. I am passionate about introducing automated testing frameworks, modernizing legacy codebases, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative solutions that meet evolving client needs.
