What I'm looking for

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

As a Lead Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience, I have a proven track record of delivering innovative solutions that enhance user experiences and drive business success. At Twilio, I led the development of a HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform, significantly reducing patient intake time by 40% through the implementation of AI-powered triage systems. My expertise in microservices architecture and event-driven design has enabled me to create scalable and efficient backend systems that meet the demands of modern applications.

Prior to Twilio, I served as a Senior Software Engineer at Roofstock, where I spearheaded the development of a property listing platform that streamlined operations and improved market responsiveness. My work on dynamic pricing models and real-time notification systems not only enhanced user engagement but also increased revenue for property owners. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and continuously seek opportunities to innovate and improve processes.
