About

5+ years as a Full-Stack Software Engineer building high-impact applications and fostering inclusive engineering cultures. 💡I thrive on turning complex problems into clean, scalable code and improving the systems people use every day. 💡My superpower is bridging the gap between technical execution and human impact, I build reliable software, and I help build supportive, collaborative teams. 💡I co-lead with empathy, write code with purpose, and believe great technology should make people's lives easier. I build robust, user-focused systems that deliver measurable results. Bite-size examples of my impact: 📈 50% boost in scheduling efficiency: Re-architected a legacy scheduling platform from the ground up. 📈 38% jump in member engagement: Co-led the launch of an automated "Empanelment" feature, replacing manual workflows. 📈 30% gain in team productivity: Delivered full-stack tooling enhancements for internal care teams. 📈 94% data accuracy achieved on a critical financial audit project, ensuring member trust. At CityBlock Health, I contributed to a wide range of projects, from large-scale migrations to developing features that directly improved patient care and data integrity. 🌱 Passionate about people & culture: I co-led the 60-member Gear5 Collective, where I launched the company's first-ever structured mentorship program to help support and grow talent within the organization.
