As a Software Engineer at HeartFlow Inc, I apply my 12 years of technical experience and passion for healthcare tech to develop innovative solutions that improve cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment. I use VueJS, React JS, TypeScript, JavaScript, AWS, Django, Python and other technologies to create features for front end and mobile apps that enable clinicians and patients to access and interact with high-fidelity 3D models of the heart.

In my current role, I collaborate with a cross-functional agile team of developers, designers, testers, and product owners to deliver quality products on time and within budget. I also contribute to the Platform and Services components, where I develop API's on AWS Lambda to be consumed by several other components in HeartFlow Inc. I enjoy mentoring junior engineers and sharing best practices in coding, testing, and deployment. My goal is to continue learning and growing as a software engineer, tech innovator and tech manager.
