What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth, where I can leverage my skills in software development and AI to make a meaningful impact.

As a Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience in developing scalable web applications, I have a proven track record of delivering innovative solutions that enhance user experiences. My journey began with a Bachelor of Computer Science from San Diego State University, and since then, I have honed my skills at leading companies like Amazon and Goldman Sachs.

At Amazon, I designed telehealth solutions that improved healthcare delivery across the U.S., leading a team to implement microservices architecture and build a video conferencing platform. My work on AI-driven tools significantly reduced administrative tasks for healthcare providers, allowing them to focus more on patient care. I thrive in collaborative environments, mentoring junior developers and ensuring high-quality code through rigorous testing and code reviews.

Previously at Goldman Sachs, I engineered financial applications that managed over $1 billion in assets, contributing to a 15% increase in returns through an AI-powered trading bot. My expertise in various programming languages and frameworks, combined with a strong foundation in cloud technologies and DevOps practices, enables me to tackle complex challenges effectively.
