My story

I like hard technical problems, but I care most about whether the work helps people.

In healthcare, that has meant improving Proxy APIs, SQL Server workflows, infrastructure usage, and delivery quality for systems that teams depend on every day. In research, it meant turning messy multilayer network data into dashboards people could actually explore and understand.

I work well where engineering needs both precision and range: writing code, refining data flows, documenting decisions, partnering with QA and analysts, and using AI tools in a way that speeds up delivery without lowering quality.

What I have done

A few outcomes that show how I work.

50%

Reduced infrastructure footprint by optimizing load balancers and IIS pools from 14 servers to 7.

75%

Improved pattern detection efficiency by enhancing multilayer network analysis algorithms.

77%

Improved test outcomes through tighter collaboration on requirements, validation, and delivery quality.

Experience

Teams and roles that shaped my approach.

05/2024 - Current Arlington, TX

Software Engineer at Altera Digital Health

I build and maintain healthcare-facing systems with SQL Server, Python, ASP.NET Web Core API, and Postman-centered workflows. The work includes database uplift projects, API development, technical documentation, Azure DevOps execution, and AI-assisted workflow improvements for engineering tasks and query optimization.

09/2022 - 05/2024 UT Arlington

Software Developer at IT Lab

Built the MLN Dashboard for analyzing airline, LinkedIn, and IMDb-style graph data. I improved Louvain and Infomap workflows and developed visualization features with Pandas, NetworkX, and Matplotlib to make complex network behavior easier to inspect.

06/2022 - 08/2022 Addison, TX

Software Engineer Intern at Securonix

Automated Cypress testing for the SNYPR SIEM platform, contributed to Kafka and Spark data initiatives, and shipped QA tooling that reduced manual work and supported faster, more dependable sprint delivery.
