Profile: https://flows.cv/adamburnstine

I am a Software Engineer at SMBC Capital Markets, driven by the challenge of high-stakes systems. From maintaining 35 year old mission critical banking applications to building modern web architectures from the ground up, I enjoy the "puzzle" of making software more efficient, reliable, and scalable. With a degree in computer science from Lehigh University, I’ve developed a passion for bridging the gap between complex regulatory requirements and high-performance technical solutions.

Away from the computer, I’m usually pursuing a different kind of exploration. I am an avid wildlife photographer, solo traveler, and SCUBA diver. Whether I'm on a basketball court or ski slope, I bring the same level of dedication and "fresh perspective" to my personal adventures as I do to my engineering projects.

Specialties: C++, Java, Python, SQL, JavScript, TypeScript, HTML & CSS
