Profile: https://flows.cv/karis

I'm a Software Developer who has professional experience leading individual feature development work from design to production, as well as unit and system automation testing, analyzing and implementing performance enhancements, and leading an Agile software team as Agile Coach. With a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo, I have a strong background in engineering fundamentals, but also enjoy leading and working closely with others to achieve goals. 

I'm also passionate about mental health and social services. I've been a volunteer with the Alameda County Suicide Hotline since April 2024 and am taking Social Work classes at Berkeley City College to deepen my understanding of gaps in social services in my community. I would love to find a career where I can merge my technical expertise with my passion for mental health - leveraging technology to promote equitable and consistent social services for all.

My job experience includes Workday Integration Consultant, Software Developer for a Boeing Subsidiary, Information Technology Professional, and Technical Business Analyst for a Biotechnology company.

My skills include Software Development, Collaborative Problem Solving, Time Management, REST API frameworks, Integrations, Public Speaking, Active Listening, Documentation, Agile methodology, and Agile Coach. I have experience coding in Java, C, Python, XML, XSLT, javascript, REACT, typescript, HTML.
