Summary

I’m a passionate software engineer who enjoys building robust and secure backend systems as well as clean, responsive web and mobile applications. Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a broad range of technologies including Java (Spring Boot), C# (.NET), Python (Flask, Django), TypeScript (React, Angular), and Dart (Flutter). I’ve led development efforts and contributed to infrastructure that supports more than $120 billion in assets for Zions Bancorporation, a major U.S. banking institution. I’m experienced in designing and deploying cloud-native apps on Azure and Google Cloud, implementing containerized services with Docker, and using event-driven architecture. I care deeply about writing clean, maintainable code, building secure systems, and collaborating across teams to deliver real value. Whether it’s optimizing frontend performance, managing backend complexity, or bridging both with full-stack solutions, I love turning ideas into practical, scalable software.
