I build software that just works

I design and ship production systems that prioritize reliability, clarity, and measurable impact. Across healthcare, fintech, and product engineering, I focus on turning complex requirements into maintainable software that teams can trust every day.

Experience

Data Scientist

Humana

At Humana, I build healthcare AI systems where quality and auditability matter as much as model performance. Through agentic optimization loops, I improved medical code extraction accuracy from 72% to 93%, reduced system cost by 40%, and raised citation-to-evidence accuracy from 50% to 99.8%, helping teams move faster while staying aligned with strict healthcare standards.

Pending Patents

  • Largest Common Subsequence and Fuzzy Window Matching for LLM Citation Alignment in Medical Records with OCR Artifacts
  • System to Automate Medical Record Retrieval with AI Reconciliation for Health Information Management Systems

Software Engineer

Bank of America

At Bank of America, I focused on making internal systems faster and safer for teams that support highly regulated financial workflows. I modernized React code, reconciled Node.js backend code with microservices owned by partner teams across the organization, and helped cut redundant SQL table footprint by over 50%, which made releases easier to validate in a compliance-heavy environment.
