## Work Experience
### Senior Software Engineer @ Morning Consult
Jan 2023 – Jan 2025
I was a Senior Software Engineer in launching Morning Consult Intelligence, a project that spanned several microservices and teams within the company. My role was to plan, develop, and coordinate work. Technologies used were primarily Typescript, NodeJS, SQL (Postgresql) and some Go. I also assisted with some DevOps work in kubernetes and terraform deploying to AWS, but that was not my main focus. The project successfully launched and met our internal timelines.

In this position I was comfortable working on teams and leading technical projects, estimating deadlines, and helped to tutor and disseminate technical knowledge amongst peers.

Additionally, I became one of our defacto AI editor thought leaders, our team successfully adopting Claude in Cursor.
