I build secure REST APIs in Go and C# for clients across three sectors, using OAuth 2.0, JWT, and Docker.

I own projects end to end, covering scoping, development, testing, production rollout, monitoring, and ongoing support. I also rewrote PostgreSQL and MySQL reporting pipelines, reducing reporting time by 30%, and developed R packages that automated clinical data analysis and removed approximately 40% of manual work.
