“Frontline support engineer in IT infrastructure monitoring (Micro Focus/HPE, now OpenText) who evolved into a hybrid support/TAM role. Experienced advising security-conscious customers (government/banking) on TLS upgrades and vulnerability response, coordinating dev and sales to meet regulatory deadlines while providing practical interim mitigations and clear customer communications.”

“QA automation engineer with deep experience owning end-to-end Cypress/JavaScript test suites (smoke, regression, and API contract tests) integrated into GitHub CI with merge gating and rich reporting. Demonstrated healthcare enrollment domain expertise by catching a critical eligibility versioning/overwrite defect via API + DB assertions that UI tests missed, then hardening the pipeline with contract tests and idempotency checks.”

“Built and monetized an object-identification app end-to-end (FastAPI backend, HTML/JS frontend, SQLite→Postgres, auth, and an iOS wrapper via Capacitor/Xcode with Apple privacy/policy compliance). Also productionized an AI-native geospatial metadata/QA assistant using LLM+RAG plus deterministic Python validation, measuring impact via time-to-first-pass review and rework rate, and has experience modernizing legacy GIS workflows and delivering across USDA/FEMA-style teams with disciplined Jira-based execution.”

“Backend engineer with experience at DigitalOcean and BNY Mellon, specializing in secure, highly available authentication and API platforms. Built an enterprise SSO system integrating Okta via OIDC with resilience patterns (gRPC contracts, circuit breakers, Kafka) and strong encryption, and led a careful monolith-to-Golang microservices migration using shadow traffic, dual writes, and feature flags to preserve data integrity.”

“Robotics software engineer with a Master’s thesis building an end-to-end monocular-vision pick-and-place controller for construction use cases on TurtleBot3 + OpenManipulator, spanning synthetic data creation, transfer learning, simulation in Gazebo, and real-robot deployment.
