I develop products to make property managers' lives easier. You might find me refactoring legacy Rails code, implementing a new experience in React, architecting a new microservice, scaling an API to support 10x its current traffic, or Zooming with customers to learn about their problems. It's truly a full stack role. In the process, I've led multiple teams, mentored dozens of engineers, and interviewed at least a hundred engineering candidates.
Software Engineer at Raytheon
Mar 2017 - Jun 2018I built experimental radar systems in C++ and C#, collaborating with hardware engineers to integrate my software with their hardware. Our main focus was maximizing performance. Many hours were spent profiling and optimizing my code.
Software Engineer Intern at i2i Population Health
Jun 2013 - Oct 2016I worked part time for 3 years, and paid my entire college tuition. I developed features for both their web and mobile apps. This was my first experience with full stack web development. I still remember the day I learned about REST.
