Extroverted Full‑stack software engineer. I build accessible, high‑performance web apps and scalable serverless data flows that process millions of rows. Seeking frontend or full‑stack roles where I can apply and expand my expertise in UI, data pipelines (ETL), and cloud‑based application development.


Professional Experience

Cloud Application Developer | Portland General Electric

  • Built a Lambda-based signed-URL service reducing dispatcher clicks 70%+ and saving ~30 min per day by automating screenshot uploads to S3.
  • Led incident response restoring 1M+ deleted Snowflake rows within 2 hours, minimizing downtime and restoring full app availability.
  • Enhanced observability and delivery by implementing CloudWatch dashboards, structured logging, and reusable Jenkins pipelines—accelerating release cycles and reducing manual errors.

Software Engineering Intern | Radical AI
