Summary

Full-stack developer and data scientist with 7+ years of experience at the intersection of backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and applied AI/ML. I build production systems: backend services and APIs in Python and C#/.NET, data pipelines from raw files to queryable analytics assets, and RAG systems from the vector-chunking layer through LLM orchestration. M.Sc. in Data Science with thesis work in Bayesian inference and computational modeling.

Experience

Aggregation Services Senior DeveloperMSCI
Sep 2023 – Present
  • Build and maintain Python-based backend services, APIs, data pipelines, analytics tooling, and operational workflows for large-scale financial data systems, including 3rd-tier production support.
  • Contributed to cross-team initiatives with ~$1M in business impact.
  • Designed observability and monitoring solutions using Splunk, Power BI, and Azure DevOps data surfacing throughput, failure rate, and latency trends across production systems, enabling data-driven incident response and capacity planning.
  • Introduced AI-assisted development workflows (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) for refactoring, test generation, and documentation, accelerating the Java modernization initiative.
  • Lead Java modernization and technical debt reduction: refactoring legacy services for upgrade-readiness while preserving behavior, testability, and release stability.
Software Developer IIRackspace Technology
Aug 2022 – Sep 2023
  • Built internal and customer-facing APIs, enterprise services, and Azure-based serverless applications in C#, .NET, and Azure Functions.
  • Owned technical design for new features: scoping, architecture decisions, proof-of-concept work, and delivery through production.
  • Implemented unit and acceptance test suites, Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and production monitoring and telemetry tooling.
.NET Middle Software EngineerParallel Staff / Softeq
Jan 2022 – Aug 2022
  • Built backend services and desktop automation tooling in C#, .NET Core, and .NET Framework.
  • Contributed to requirements analysis, test scenario coverage, workflow documentation, and code reviews.
Hardware and Software Development SpecialistDelee Corp
Feb 2020 – Dec 2021
  • Built C#/.NET backend services and WPF/XAML MVVM desktop applications for laboratory automation and biomedical device control.
  • Programmed microcontrollers in C to drive microfluidic devices and automate microscope control for cell imaging and blood sample analysis.
  • Automated assay workflows for blood sample processing: cell counting, imaging pipelines, and data acquisition from laboratory instrumentation.
  • Developed Python tooling to bridge hardware instrumentation output with desktop reporting and analysis workflows.
