What I'm looking for

I'm looking for challenges that motivate my problem solving, create opportunities for user feedback, and support continuous learning while building user-centric products.

At IQVIA, I build internal employee applications that integrate AI and LLM agents across React, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, and AWS.

I've implemented a custom OAuth 2.0 authorization flow for multi-tenant services, maintained a 90% successful story completion-to-defect rate, and served as Interim Team Lead during a team transition.

Before engineering, I led full sales cycles at Envoy and Periscope Data, including a $70K ARR deal and sales-function strategy for a new-business segment. That customer-facing foundation shapes how I take products from 0 to 1 through rapid iteration and user feedback.
