“Software engineer with experience spanning healthcare platforms at UnitedHealth Group/Optum and B2B SaaS systems at Zoho. Has worked on a startup-like internal product for intelligent medical document processing using microservices on Azure, while also building React dashboards, backend APIs, and Python automation to support clinical and business operations.”

“Full-stack engineer with healthcare and financial services experience who owned an end-to-end appointment scheduling feature at Norton Healthcare, improving scheduling speed and reliability through Angular/TypeScript, SQL Server, Entity Framework Core, Redis caching, and secure APIs. Also brings enterprise modernization experience from IBM and JPMorgan Chase, including microservices migration, CI/CD, and production observability.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on ownership of an internal LLM platform, spanning React/NestJS development, PostgreSQL schema design, multi-provider model integrations, and chat/eval pipelines. They also show strong production engineering instincts, having resolved Cognito throttling failures via tracing and led an observability migration to Signoz that materially improved incident diagnosis speed.”

“Front-end/full-stack engineer with hands-on ownership of a sophisticated healthcare digital ID card platform at Centene, spanning React/Next.js UI and Spring Boot BFF architecture. Stands out for combining browser-level debugging, reusable component design, and secure multi-system integration to improve mobile usability, reduce production issues, and support adoption of digital member ID cards.”

“Frontend/full-stack engineer currently at Intuit working on QuickBooks pricing and personalization experiences, where she is the sole developer for a production shopping widget on quickbooks.intuit.com. She combines strong React performance optimization skills with cross-functional product ownership, including integrating an ML-based SKU recommendation model and proactively shipping UX improvements like browser back-button support after winning stakeholder buy-in through a POC.”

“Backend-focused engineer with strong .NET/Angular experience building enterprise financial and healthcare systems, including microservice APIs deployed with Docker/Kubernetes and AWS ECS. Demonstrates production reliability skills across secrets management (Secrets Manager/IAM), incident response (CloudWatch + Kafka failover), and data engineering patterns from SSIS ETL (data quality, incremental recovery), plus proven SQL tuning with a 10-minute report reduced to under 30 seconds.”
