At Sterling, I led development of a background check platform integrating multiple data sources. I also designed data pipelines that reduced latency by 35% and integrated AI-driven automation to optimize workflows.

At First Advantage, I contributed to a background check system and implemented RESTful APIs and Jenkins and Docker CI/CD pipelines. Earlier, as a Test Automation Engineer at Freddie Mac (via Hexaware/Revature), I maintained and developed test scripts for web applications.
