What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build reliable software with CI/CD-driven observability, improve compliance traceability, and deploy secure infrastructure and LLM-powered backend tools end-to-end.

I’m a Software Engineer at ANPC in Hood River, OR, where I expand Heatmaps with deeper CI/CD pipeline integration, automated result submission, coverage tracking, and reliability improvements. I’ve also standardized code coverage tooling and quality checks to catch compliance gaps before production.

Previously, as an intern, I built Heatmaps to surface flaky tests and coverage gaps using Python/Pandas and a DataTables.js frontend, adopted by 40% of the development team. I’ve migrated 900 requirements into Jama Connect from legacy Access databases while maintaining full traceability, and I’m comfortable working across QNX migrations and Linux infrastructure.
