About

I’m a full-stack developer and software engineer with 3+ years of experience in fintech engineering and automation. I build end-to-end applications using React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, and I thrive in teams that value secure, scalable software built with solid CI/CD practices.

In my RBC roles, I led automation efforts, designed scalable RPA workflows, and integrated data pipelines, while collaborating closely with product and QA to ensure smooth releases after the HSBC merger. I enjoy mentoring teammates and turning complex banking requirements into reliable automation and test strategies.
