Available to hire
I am a dynamic and ingenious software developer with over 25 years of experience in producing robust code for high-volume companies. I have applied actuarial mathematics, physics, and technology across fintech projects and collaborated with diverse tech groups—developers, project managers, and partners—to deliver high-impact results.
I simplify complex processes and often build software tools to streamline workflows. I hold a BSc in Physics with a Minor in Mathematics and Systems Engineering and Computers, plus a specialization in Actuarial Science. Proficient across imperative, functional, and object-oriented paradigms, I quickly learn new languages, and I bring extensive data engineering experience (SQL, stored procedures, NoSQL, ETLs, DSS, caching, queues) and a growing interest in Deep Learning and AI.
