About

As a software engineer with over five years of experience in full-stack development, I have a passion for building high-performance web applications and enhancing user experiences. In my current role, I've contributed to NASA's OpenSpace project that improved accessibility and usability by 40%, enhancing user experience and reduced asset update time. Previously, at Optum (UnitedHealth Group), I focused on optimizing front-end and back-end systems, reducing complexity, and improving operational efficiency. I created CI/CD pipelines and test-driven-development to minimize the defects and speed up the release cycle by 35%. My expertise spans a variety of technologies, including ReactJS, Node.js, Python, Java Spring Boot, and AWS. I specialize in crafting intuitive user interfaces with React and building scalable server-side solutions. My focus on clean, maintainable code and adherence to agile practices helps me deliver high-quality software that meets both user needs and business objectives. Outside of my day-to-day work, I contribute to open-source projects and stay engaged with the developer community through tech meetups and conferences.
