Summary

I am a software engineer with extensive experience, focusing on writing user services and utilities. Since starting at GE Appliances, I created an automated test management platform and a tailored testing framework, significantly improving operational efficiency and accuracy. Also, I am skilled in conflict resolution and fostering team collaboration by meeting with team leaders to discuss the areas of their workflow that can be reduced, optimized, or automated. I meet one-on-one with the points of contact to consistently achieve successful project results in several areas of IT. I also have experience from my time at Samtec maintaining single-page web applications, Angular 12+, database management and migration, and back-end web APIs and services written in the .NET framework. These skills have helped me to develop problem-solving skills to deliver products in restrictive environments.
