About

Professional summary

I am a Software Developer with over 7 years of experience building scalable healthcare and enterprise applications. My expertise spans frontend development, backend services, and system design, allowing me to deliver comprehensive solutions that improve performance and simplify complex workflows. I thrive in Agile and Scrum environments, collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams to meet project goals.

My technical skills include hands-on experience with Python, FastAPI, Django, Next.js, and Java. I have a strong background in cloud computing, test-driven development, and DevOps practices, which have enabled me to enhance application reliability and deployment efficiency. I am passionate about writing clean, maintainable code and continuously improving software architecture.

In my recent role at Cerner Corporation, I led system design and software architecture for a healthcare platform used by thousands of clinicians. I successfully optimized frontend features and backend queries, significantly reducing data entry times and response latencies. I also improved CI/CD workflows and authored documentation that lowered support tickets.

Previously, I worked as a Backend Developer at Rechat, where I designed scalable backend services and high-throughput REST APIs. I implemented test-driven development practices that reduced defects and enhanced release confidence. I also contributed to DevOps improvements that increased release frequency.

Earlier in my career, I contributed as a Web Developer at NetSol Technologies, focusing on frontend development with React and TypeScript. I built responsive interfaces and collaborated closely with designers to balance UX goals with technical feasibility. I also completed a Software Development Internship at Asurion, where I supported software maintenance and testing activities.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from The University of Kansas. I am seeking a fully remote Software Engineer role where I can leverage my skills and experience to contribute to impactful projects.
