What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills to drive impactful projects and mentor others.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over 9 years of experience in designing and developing high-performance web applications for industry leaders like BestBuy, CVS Health, and Yahoo. My expertise lies in modern JavaScript frameworks such as React, Next.js, Angular, and React Native, with a strong focus on performance optimization and scalable architecture. I am passionate about creating clean, testable code and advocating for accessibility and security in all my projects.

At BestBuy, I led the redesign of the e-commerce platform, significantly boosting user engagement and improving performance metrics. My role involved integrating GraphQL and optimizing data-fetching strategies, which resulted in a notable reduction in API latency. I also took pride in mentoring junior engineers, fostering their growth in modern frontend architecture practices.

Previously at CVS Health, I built HIPAA-compliant web portals that supported vaccine scheduling during the pandemic, demonstrating my ability to scale applications under high load. My experience at Yahoo further solidified my skills in delivering scalable applications and conducting security audits. I am committed to continuous improvement and leveraging my technical skills to drive impactful results.
