What I'm looking for

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

As a Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience at leading tech companies like Nike and Okta, I have honed my skills in crafting innovative solutions that enhance system performance and user experience. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and since then, I have been dedicated to leveraging technology to solve complex problems.

At Nike, I played a pivotal role in developing a Natural Language Processing application that significantly improved search capabilities. My commitment to quality is evident through my implementation of Test Driven Development (TDD) and Feature Driven Development (FDD), which led to a remarkable reduction in defects. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver well-documented APIs and scalable architectures that drive business success.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on optimizing performance and ensuring security. My achievements include a 40% reduction in migration time for cloud-native infrastructure at Okta and a 30% increase in system reliability through meticulous feature validation. I am passionate about continuous learning and applying best practices to enhance development processes, ultimately contributing to the success of the organizations I work with.
