About Me Professionally
I am a dedicated Software Engineer currently driving innovation at UnitedHealth Group. With over five years of experience in building robust digital solutions, I specialize in bridging the gap between complex technical architectures and intuitive user experiences. My technical toolkit is centered on Java, TypeScript, and Python, complemented by modern front-end frameworks like React and Tailwind CSS. I have a proven track record of leveraging cloud infrastructure and advanced data processing tools, including AWS EC2, Kafka, and OpenSearch, to develop scalable, high-performance applications.
I enjoy working with new technologies, collaborating with others, and problem-solving. I welcome feedback, new ideas, and different perspectives. Feel free to connect with me and we can look to create something amazing together!
Skills & Experience
About Me Personally
Outside of coding, I am a student of Philosophy at Minneapolis College, a discipline that informs my ethical approach to technology and problem-solving. I love learning new things, whether it's a new programming language, a new philosophy concept, or a new skill. I am a lifelong learner and I am always looking for new challenges.
In my free time, some hobbies I enjoy are: Cooking, working out, reading, and trying new activities! Some recent exciting things I've done are: growing my own mushrooms, and hosting a weekly philosophy discussion group. I also have a personal project, Thinking Lately, where I post my personal thoughts on philosophy and literature.
