I'm a Software Developer with a BSc in Computer Engineering, building production digital health systems at the Infectious Diseases Institute. My core stack is Python (Django, FastAPI), Java/Kotlin (Spring Boot, Android), and TypeScript/React — deployed on Linux servers with Docker and GitHub Actions CI/CD. What sets me apart is a hands-on specialty in IVR and PBX (Asterisk): I've designed and shipped multi-language call flows to production, a domain most developers never touch.
Over the past year I've gone from supporting features to owning them end-to-end: leading a multi-language call flow into production, shipping 15+ reports across a national reporting suite, migrating production infrastructure on-premise, and building a documentation platform that's now the team's reference point. That arc from implementing to leading is the thing I'm proudest of.
What drives me is turning complex, real-world requirements — vaccine tracking, patient communication, offline-first mobile workflows — into systems that are reliable in the field, not just in a demo. I approach every project with the same mix of engineering rigor and practical problem-solving, whether I'm optimizing a backend, designing a call flow, or writing the docs the next person will thank me for.
Specializing in backend systems & REST APIs, IVR/telephony integrations, and digital health platforms.
