I love finding simple solutions to complex problems and building systems that are pragmatic, maintainable, and resilient. I have 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on healthcare technology. Before specializing in health tech, I worked as a software contractor, where I built a broad foundation in full-stack development, project management, and cross-functional collaboration. As a founding engineer at Modern Animal, I helped build the core tech stack from the ground up, powering EMR data sync, billing, and customer management. I also led the development of the Virtual Queue, which became the primary communication system between veterinarians and clients during COVID-19. I specialize in leading through influence, driving architectural decisions, and designing flexible solutions that can quickly adapt to business needs. ## Work Experience ### Staff Software Engineer @ Two Chairs Jan 2024 – Present Led key initiatives to modernize clinician workflows, enhance system scalability, and improve developer velocity through better tooling and architecture.
