I’m always happy to collaborate, share insights, or mentor engineers exploring the AI revolution in Software Engineering. Feel free to reach out or connect here. Principal Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience in the services, product, cloud, cyber security and banking sectors, focused on building secure, scalable and cloud-native platforms. I enjoy solving hard problems through rapid prototyping, applying AI/ML where it makes a difference, and using AI-assisted development to boost engineering velocity. I love turning good ideas from "Proof of Concept" to production. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with both large financial institutions and agile startups, wearing many different hats gaining tremendous experience and knowledge with each position held. Responsibilities that included Agile Software Solution Design and then delivering these solutions to exceed growth and optimization goals year after year, the launching of several new software products and platforms, coaching and developing software engineers and system partners, implementing strategic software delivery plans, analyzing opportunities of growth, developing dashboards to view customer analytics and displaying leadership skills that create opportunities for all to succeed. My software engineering experience is vast - calling on numerous technical areas including: System Design, Rapid Prototyping, Backend Development, API Design, Integrations, Database Design, Deployment Strategies, Disaster Management and Recovery and Test Automation, encompassing languages and technologies like Golang, Python, C, JavaScript, C++, Typescript, Terraform, Kubernetes, Java, Google Cloud Platform, Helm, AWS, SQL, CI/CD, Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, Docker, Git, Jenkins, Github Actions, Gitlab CI, HTML, CSS and Apache Cordova. I am passionate about what I do and take great pride in my role as a Software Engineer. I face each day head on knowing that can make an impact in someone's life and make it better.
