I am a versatile, process-oriented software developer and business analyst with extensive experience in TQM and Kaizen, specializing in improving efficiency through continual improvement of processes and systems. I thrive in self-directed, collaborative environments where I can drive practical outcomes and measurable gains. Most recently, I led secure SSO integration and REST-based data flows for agent web apps, supported mergers with zero downtime, and built scalable web APIs and desktop applications that process XML transactions and ACORD processing, delivering robust, end-to-end solutions.
