I've delivered full-stack lending workflows, credit-scoring dashboards, document verification, and analytics portals at Upstart, building with React 18, TypeScript, Python, and Django.

I improved code reusability by 45%, reduced API calls by 35%, cut perceived latency by 50%, and reduced deployment time from 45 to 12 minutes. I also mentored three junior engineers and built accessible components reaching WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.

Previously, I built HIPAA-compliant patient experiences at Empower Pharmacy and accessible text-to-speech interfaces at Speechify. I enjoy clean code, system design, technical documentation, and building reliable products that improve user experiences.
