What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a results-driven full-stack software engineer with over three years of experience in building scalable and high-performance web applications. My expertise lies in C#, .NET, and SQL, where I have successfully led feature development and improved system performance. I thrive in collaborative environments, delivering user-centric solutions that meet and exceed stakeholder expectations.

At BlackLine, I spearheaded a time-sensitive migration project that transformed account data management for 95% of our clients, significantly enhancing analysis capabilities. My role involved migrating legacy monolithic applications to a microservice architecture, reducing deployment delays from three days to just 15 minutes. I also implemented critical features such as email alerts and URL validation, which improved usability and reduced customer service requests.

In addition to my engineering experience, I founded a direct-to-consumer natural skincare brand, overseeing product development and customer experience. My entrepreneurial journey has equipped me with a unique perspective on technology and business, allowing me to create impactful solutions that resonate with users.
