About Me

I am a problem solver. Professionally, I solve problems with discourse and code. I lead discussions, ask questions, seek out differing perspectives and continuously learn, grow and mentor. I eagerly pursue responsibility, research uncertainty, and strive to elevate those around me in the pursuit of delivering results efficiently and effectively. I specialize in backend systems, data integration, and healthcare technology.
