I am a seasoned Silicon Valley Software Engineer with over two decades of experience building scalable software solutions.

As a teenager, I began creating web pages using HTML, CSS and JavaScript and then began to dabble with building interactive Flash movies with ActionScript. That hobby evolved into creating a collection of blog sites tailored to the medical, business, financial, and real estate markets. I built, managed, and scaled Google Adwords and Adsense campaigns for these sites which eventually grew to a gross annual revenue of nearly half a million dollars.

I eventually turned my hobby into a career and enrolled in San Jose State’s Computer Science program. I graduated Cum Laude in 2012 with a cumulative GPA of 3.84.

While attending college, I began working for a small healthcare software company called Devero. The company built an electronic health records platform which enabled home health agencies to move their forms and record keeping online. I began as a junior level Java developer and eventually earned the position of Lead Platform Engineer. In this position I was responsible for architecting and developing data platforms capable of migrating new partners onto the platform and integrating our healthcare solution with the partner’s existing infrastructure.

I left Devero in 2015 to explore an opportunity with another electronic health records company who was making big waves in the industry at the time: Practice Fusion. I spent two years at Practice Fusion focusing primarily on the company’s patient portal. I served as a Sr Software Engineer responsible for architecting, developing, and deploying software solutions using Ruby microservices on AWS. I also served as a Site Reliability Engineer and would routinely respond to, diagnose, repair, and perform post-mortem analysis for production issues.
