I'm a software engineer with experience in full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and building scalable applications. I've worked on enterprise platforms at Capital One, leading migrations to optimize AWS costs and supporting CI/CD pipelines used by hundreds of internal apps. I also co-founded a tech agency, where I built a TypeScript backend on serverless infrastructure and managed a distributed team. My technical skills span Java, Python, TypeScript, React, and AWS. I'm focused on writing clean, efficient code and solving practical problems, whether that's reducing cloud spend by 18% or building tools that save developers hundreds of hours.
