With over fifteen years of software development experience, I have led and contributed to various projects in the fintech, consulting, and education sectors. I have a bachelor's degree in computer science and a strong skill set in .NET, Java, Ruby, TypeScript, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and AWS, among others.

At Amount, a fintech firm providing digital services to lenders, I successfully led a team of developers for Capital One's launch of installment loans at point-of-sale and spearheaded the creation of a gateway proxy web service, enabling seamless third-party software integrations with vendors like TransUnion, Mitek, and Neustar. I am passionate about delivering innovative and scalable solutions that meet the needs of clients and users in the fast-growing fintech industry. I also enjoy sharing what I have learned with others and cultivating my remote interpersonal skills, which I believe are essential for effective remote management and leadership.
