About
I'm a full stack software engineer based out of Chicago. I have over 7 years of experience as a software engineer with a deep passion for building great products. My experience includes leading feature development at Capital One AutoNavigator, and working as a full stack engineer at CVS Health. Most of my Full Stack experience includes working on a Java, Angular and AWS stack. I also have worked professionally in Python at Capital One where I worked on the Card Tech team and also at Outcome Health where I worked as a Data Engineer. Apart form professional work, I also have a lot of python experience from Georgia Tech where I worked on interesting projects such as building trading bots and building Open CV projects to create panoramic images. My experience with full stack engineering, and machine learning, make me a perfect candidate for any team looking to build innovative projects for the future!
