Summary

I am a seasoned Software Engineer with 11 years of professional experience with proven troubleshooting and debugging capabilities for resolving complex technical issues. I am experienced in all aspects of the software development cycle, particularly in an Kanban Agile environment. I have experience in the Healthcare Industry developing software in Visual Basic and Intersystems Cache while using REST, ASTM, JSON, HL7, IHE, SOAP and proprietary communication protocols. My engineering prowess and personal skills help me facilitate timely project delivery with a "quality first" mindset. I've often been tasked to speak as an SME for the engineering department regarding regulatory, technical or process related issues.
