Summary
Software Engineer | Full-Stack | Data & AI
Software Engineer with hands-on experience building and delivering production software across frontend, backend, data engineering, analytics, and AI-enabled development. Strong expertise in Angular, TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Node.js, and modern web architecture, with experience contributing across the full software delivery lifecycle—from architecture and implementation to testing, debugging, code review, analytics, and production delivery.
Experienced in taking ownership of complex engineering problems, designing maintainable solutions, collaborating across technical disciplines, and helping unblock other engineers. I have contributed to proctoring and assessment platforms, analytics systems, organizational configuration workflows, accessibility and governance initiatives, and multi-tenant business software.
My recent work includes designing and implementing complex frontend architecture, building reliable client/server event flows, developing analytics capabilities, integrating backend services, working with AWS-based data pipelines and Athena, and applying AI tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and ChatGPT strategically throughout the software development lifecycle.
I bring a systems-oriented engineering mindset, combining strong frontend expertise with growing depth in backend engineering, data engineering, analytics, and AI. I am particularly interested in building scalable products, solving complex engineering problems, improving developer productivity, and taking greater technical ownership across teams.
