I have over half a decade in software engineering experience working with modern tech stacks, solving some really great problems in healthcare tech. I am agnostic to the exact industry I work in, as long as there is good to be done, and interesting problems to solve along the way. I am constantly learning. Learning to be a better engineer. Learning to be a more effective leader. Learning how to be a better person.
