About

A full-stack software engineer who builds reliable, real-world systems with a focus on usability and impact. I enjoy taking complex problems, breaking them down, and shipping software that actually gets used. My past experiences include production applications ranging from healthcare EMR platforms to AI-powered CRM tools, building across the stack with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, React, TypeScript, and AWS. I led the development of a live EMR system used daily in a medical clinical setting, helping reduce documentation time, improve data reliability, and streamline workflows for doctors and staff. I've also built AI-driven automation and lead-discovery features that significantly reduce manual effort and improve operational efficiency. I earned my B.S. in Software Engineering from Rochester Institute of Technology and will be furthering my education with an M.S. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, where I plan to focus on machine learning and AI-driven systems.
